One possible answer is:

9×(2+3)

Explanation:

First we find the sum of 18 and 27. 18+27 = 45.

Next we find the GCF of 18 and 27. We do this by finding the prime factorization of each:

18 = 2*9

9 = 3*3

Thus, 18 = 2*3*3.

27 = 3*9

9 = 3*3

Thus, 27 = 3*3*3

We want the common factors; there are 2 3's in common, so 3*3 = 9 is the GCF. This makes the product 9×( ). The missing number would be 5, since 9*5 = 45. Writing this as a sum, we can use 2+3; this gives us 9×(2+3).

Factors of 18: 1; 2; 3; 6; 9; 18

Factors of 27: 1; 3; 9; 27

GCF(18; 27) = 9

18 + 27 = 9 × 2 + 9 × 3 = 9 × (2 + 3)

katrin [286]

Answer:

∠2 and ∠4 are the supplementary angle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Shelves of the bookcase are parallel and a transversal line is intersecting these points at two distinct points.

By the property,

Sum of two interior consecutive angles measure 180°.

From the figure attached,

∠2 and ∠4 are the interior consecutive angles.

Therefore, m∠2 + m∠4 = 180°

Which proves that shelves of the showcase are parallel.

Several batches of stew were made yesterday. Each batch required 1 2/3 pounds of meat. All together, 10 5/6 pounds of meat was u

kolezko [41]

Answer:

Option A is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us see the given steps of Janice's solution to find error made by her.

1. $10\frac{5}{6}\div 1\frac{2}{3}$

We can find the number of stew batches by dividing total amount of meat used by amount of meat needed for each batch.

We have been given that $10\frac{5}{6}$ pounds of meat was used and each batch required $1\frac{2}{3}$ pounds of meat, therefore, 1st step is correct.

2. $=\frac{65}{6} \times \frac{5}{2}$

Upon converting our mixed fractions to improper fractions we will get,

$=\frac{65}{6} \times \frac{5}{3}$

We can see that Janice converted $1\frac{2}{3}$ to $\frac{5}{2}$ , which is not correct. Janice wrote 2 in the denominator of second mixed fraction instead of 3.

Janice converted a mixed number to the wrong improper fraction, therefore, option A is the correct choice.
