Answer:
- 31 pencils
- 38 erasers
- 44 sharpeners
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of packets is the greatest common divisor of the given numbers of pencils, erasers, and sharpeners.
It can be helpful to look at the differences between these numbers:
748 -646 = 102
646 -527 = 119
The difference of these differences is 17, suggesting that will be the number of packets possible.
527 = 17 × 31
646 = 17 × 38
748 = 17 × 44
The numbers 31, 38, and 44 are relatively prime (31 is actually prime), so there can be no greater number of packets than 17.
There will be 31 pencils, 38 erasers, and 44 sharpeners in each of the 17 packets.
_____
We may have worked the wrong problem. The way it is worded, the <em>maximum</em> number of items in each packet will be 527 pencils, 646 erasers, and 748 sharpeners in one (1) packet. The <em>minimum</em> number of items in each packet will be the number that corresponds to the maximum number of packets. Since 17 is the maximum number of packets, each packet's contents are as described above.
17 is the only common factor of the given numbers, so will be the number of groups (plural) into which the items can be arranged.
Answer:
6x²+4x
Step-by-step explanation:
The given expressions are 3x²- 4x-4 and 3x²+8x+4.
We need to add these two expressions.
3x²- 4x-4 + 3x²+8x+4 = 3x² + 3x² -4x+8x-4+4
= 6x²+4x
On adding the given expressions, we get the value as 6x²+4x. Hence, the sum of the given expressions is equal to 6x²+4x
Answer:
where is simplify question
Answer:
Nestor can pot 6 plants in 1 hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
first lets convert 2 1/2 hours in mixed fraction form for better calculation
2 1/2 hours = (2*2 + 1)/2 = 5/2 hours
no of plants pot in 5/2 hours = 15
to find no. of plants pot in 1 hours lets
divide both side by 5/2
no of plants pot in 5/2/(5/2) hours = 15/(5/2) = 15*2/5 = 6
no. of plants pot in 1 hour = 6
Thus, Nestor can pot 6 plants in 1 hour.
Answer: x<-10
Step-by-step explanation:
the < in the math equation means that the number to the right is greater than the number to the left. x can not be -10 it has to be lower (smaller).
