Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What this question is asking of you is what is the greatest common divisor of 12 and 15. Or, what is the biggest number that divides both 12 and 15.
in order to find this we have to split each number into it's prime components.
for 12 they are 2,2 and 3 (
2
⋅
2
⋅
3
=
12
)
and for 15 they are 3 and 5 (
3
⋅
5
=
15
)
Out of those two groups (2,2,3) and (3,5) the only thing in common is 3, so 3 is the greatest common divisor. That tells us that the greatest number of groups that can exist and have the same number of girls and the same number of boys for each group is 3.
Now to find out how many girls and boys there are going to be in each group we divide the totals by 3, so:
12
3
=
4
girls per group, and
15
3
=
5
boys per group.
(just as a thought exercise, if there were 16 boys, the divisors would have been (2,2,3) and (2,2,2,2), leaving us with 4 groups [
2
⋅
2
] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
Answer: $58,088.57
Step-by-step explanation:
The investment is compounded weekly so you need to change the parameters of the equation to a weekly figure:
Interest rate is yearly so:
= 3.75%/52
= 3.75/52% per week
Number of periods is 4 years so:
= 4 * 52
= 208 weeks
Future value in 4 years is:
= 50,000 * ( 1 + 3.75/52%)²⁰⁸
= $58,088.57
$0. She got the $40 ring and then gave it back. 40-40=0.
Answer:
B If a quadrilateral has diagonals that bisect each other, then the quadrilateral is a parallelogram
Explanation:
A rectangle just like a square has diagonals that bisect each other and they are congruent( two lines are congruent if they are equal). A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with parallel sides and when its diagonals intersect, they are congruent too. Therefore a rectangle with diagonals that bisect each other is not necessarily a parallelogram.
