Answer:

28 + 24 as a product of two factors is 4(7 + 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

GCF is the greatest common factor of two numbers

Let us find the GCF of the given numbers 28 and 24

∵ 28 = 1 × 28, 2 × 14, 4 × 7

∴ The factors of 28 are 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, 28

∵ 24 = 1 ×24, 2 × 12, 3 × 8, 4 × 6

∴ The factors of 24 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24

→ Find the common factors of them

∵ The common factors of 28 and 24 are 1, 2, 4

∵ The greatest factor of them is 4

∴ The GCF = 4

→ Write 28 as 4 × 7 and 24 as 4 × 6

∵ 28 = 4 × 7 and 24 = 4 × 6

∴ 28 + 24 = 4 × 7 + 4 × 6

→ Take 4 as a common factor

∵ 4 × 7 + 4 × 6 = 4(7 + 6) ⇒ distributive propoerty

∴ 28 + 24 = 4(7 + 6)

∴ 28 + 24 as a product of two factors is 4(7 + 6)

Answer:

100.26

Step-by-step explanation:

You would find the area of the semi circles on either side of the rectangle by plugging the diameter into the formula for the area of a circle. Then you would add that to the are of the rectangle.

This is what that would look like:

1. Divide 6 (the diameter) by 2 because $r=\frac{1}{2} d$

$r=\frac{1}{2} 6$

$r=3$

2. plug into the formula $A=\pi r^{2}$

$A=\pi 3^{2}$

3. square the 3

$A=\pi 9$

4. multiply 9 by 3.14 (pi)

$A=28.26$

This means the area of both the semi circles added together would equal 28.26

Then you would use the formula $A=lw$ to find the area of the rectangle

1. plug in the numbers given

$A= 12$ · $6$

2. solve

$A=72$

Then add the area of the semicircles to the area of the rectangle

$A=28.26+72$

to get the area of the entire figure:

$A=100.26$

Answer:

<h3>Negative StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction </h3>

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression $\frac{1}{2} - 1\frac{1}{5}$ , we are to find the difference

First convert the mixed fraction $1\frac{1}{5}$ to improper fraction

$1\frac{1}{5}$ = $\frac{6}{5}$

The expression becomes;

$\frac{1}{2} - \frac{6}{5}$

Find LCM

$\frac{5-6}{10}$

Evaluate the resulting expression

$\frac{5-12}{10}\\\\\frac{-7}{10}$

Hence the correct option is C i.e Negative StartFraction 7 over 10 EndFraction
