Answer:

Ella could make:

2, 3, 4, 6, or 12 fruit baskets.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Ella has 48 apples and 60 oranges.

She wants to make N fruit baskets, such that each one of these fruit baskets has the same number of each fruit.

So we can define the variables:

a = number of apples in each one of these baskets

o = number of oranges in each one of these baskets

Then, if we have N baskets, we must have that:

N*a = 48

N*o = 60

a = 48/N

o = 60/N

And the values of a and o must be integers, then N must be a common factor of 48 and 60.

Remember that every number can be written as a product of prime factors, then let's rewrite 48 and 60 in that way:

48 = 2*24 = 2*2*12 = 2*2*2*2*3

60 = 2*30 = 2*3*10 = 2*2*3*5

Then, the common factors between 48 and 60 are the ones we can make with the prime numbers (that appear in both constructions) these are:

2

3

2*2 = 4

2*3 = 6

2*2*3 = 12

These are all the possible numbers of fruit baskets.

High school students across the nation compete in a financial capability challenge each year by taking a National Financial Capa
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that a student have to score 1.41 standard deviations above the mean to be publicly recognized.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

For answering the question, we don't know the score mean of the National Financial Capability Challenge Exam and neither the population or number of students who take the exam. The only information provided is that the public recognition in this normal distribution is only for students that scores in the top 8%. In other words for students above 92% of the population.

With this information, we can go to a Z Score Table and check that for being on the top 8% (above the 92% of any population), your result must be 1.405 standard deviations above the mean.

<u>Rounding the answer to 2 decimal places, it's 1.41 standard deviations above the mean.</u>
