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.

The roots of the quadratic equation $z^2 + az + b = 0$ are $2 - 3i$ and $2 + 3i$. What is $a+b$?
AlladinOne [14]
We know for our problem that the zeroes of our quadratic equation are (2-3i) and (2+3i), which means that the solutions for our equation are x=2-3i and x=2+3i. We are going to use those solutions to express our quadratic equation in the form a x^{2} +bx+c; to do that we will use the <span>zero factor property in reverse:
</span>x=2-3i
x-2=-3i
x-2+3i=0
<span>
</span>x=2+3i
x-2=3i
x-2-3i=0
<span>
Now, we can multiply the left sides of our equations:
</span>(x-2+3i)(x-2-3i)= x^{2} -2x-3ix-2x+4+6i+3ix-6i-3^2i^2
<span>= </span>x^{2}-4x+4-9i^{2}
= x^{2} -4x+4+9
= x^{2} -4x+13
Now that we have our quadratic in the form a x^{2} +bx+c, we can infer that a=1 and b=-4; therefore, we can conclude that a+b=1+(-4)=1-4=-3.

Please can you help it says £300
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
This can be done algebraically:

300*x=330 Where x is the multiplier
Therefore x=330/300=1.1

To find a percentage of a number you multiply by the percentage divided by 100.
So 330 is 110% of 300, which is an increase of 10%.
