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.

140 degrees decreased by 65%
BaLLatris [955]
Hey there! 
<span>Here are the steps involved: 
</span>
1.Change 65% into a decimal. Move the decimal two places to the left and you get 0.65.

2. Multiply 0.65 by 50.
<span>140 x 0.65 = 91.

3. Since you are decreasing 140 by 65%, subtract 140 by 91. 
140-91= 49

What could be the Principal Amount, if rate if interest is 16% and $18 is earned as an interest after 3 months
liq [111]

The principal amount is $37.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Rate of interest= 16%

Rate of Interest = $18

Time = 3 months

Interest = (principal amount x rate of interest x time) /100

18 = (p x 16 x 3) /100

1800 = 48p

P = 1800/48

P = 37.5

The principal amount is $37.5
