Answer:
- 31 pencils
- 38 erasers
- 44 sharpeners
Step-by-step explanation:
The number of packets is the greatest common divisor of the given numbers of pencils, erasers, and sharpeners.
It can be helpful to look at the differences between these numbers:
748 -646 = 102
646 -527 = 119
The difference of these differences is 17, suggesting that will be the number of packets possible.
527 = 17 × 31
646 = 17 × 38
748 = 17 × 44
The numbers 31, 38, and 44 are relatively prime (31 is actually prime), so there can be no greater number of packets than 17.
There will be 31 pencils, 38 erasers, and 44 sharpeners in each of the 17 packets.
_____
We may have worked the wrong problem. The way it is worded, the <em>maximum</em> number of items in each packet will be 527 pencils, 646 erasers, and 748 sharpeners in one (1) packet. The <em>minimum</em> number of items in each packet will be the number that corresponds to the maximum number of packets. Since 17 is the maximum number of packets, each packet's contents are as described above.
17 is the only common factor of the given numbers, so will be the number of groups (plural) into which the items can be arranged.

Answer:
Area of the rhombus will be a repeating decimal.
Step-by-step explanation:
In a terminating decimals, numbers get terminated after decimal like
1/4 = 0.25
while in repeating decimals, numbers get repeated after decimal like
1/3 = 0.33333
When we multiply two decimals which are repeating and terminating decimals the result will be a repeating decimal.
Therefore area of the rhombus will be a repeating decimal.
Answer:
Yes it is true.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you go on and solve for x, you get 3. I got this by subtracting the 4 from both sides, then getting 15x=45. Then I divided both sides by 15 and got x=3. If you plug that in, you get 4+45=49. This proves to be true.
There are many possibilities (fractions, decimals etc.), so I will list a few of the whole numbers that have a product of 225.
1x225
3x75
5x45
9x25
15x15
