The concept of greatest common factor is used to solve this question. Then, we use it to find the number of crackers and slices of cheese, and the answer is:

  • The greatest number of plates you can prepare is 6.
  • Each plate will have 3 crackers.
  • Each plate will have 2 slices of cheese.

--------------------------------

To find the greatest number of plates, you need to find the greatest common factor between 12 and 18.

Thus, factoring them, always by the same number:

12 - 18|2

6 - 9|3

2 - 3

The greatest common factor is 2x3 = 6, which means that the greatest number of plates you can prepare is 6.

--------------------------------

18 crackers, so each plate has 18/6 = 3 crackers.

12 slices of cheese, so each plate has 12/6 = 2 slices of cheese.

5-1-9/3-9 What do I do?
Contact [7]
Rewrite it to simplify using order of operations.

P E M D A S
() ^2 × ÷ + -

So nw it's
5-1-(9÷3)-9

no now it's
(5-1)-(3-9)
4-(-6) I wrote the negative in parentheses to show its not an additional subtraction sign. also if you look it's sort of a plus sign. so when you subtraction (-6) from 4 it's actually 4+6

4-(-6)=10.

that's what I got. hope this helps.

Model 25% on a 4x3 grid
Nostrana [21]
1.) Start by figuring out what the 4x3 grid would look like. In this grid, we have 12 boxes (4 x 3 = 12).

2.) Now let's calculate 25% of 12. When changing a percent to a decimal, simply move the decimal point over to the left two places. So then 25% = .25 when written as a decimal. Multiply 25 x 12. 25% of 12 equals 3. 

3.) Now your grid would have 3 boxes shaded in. I put two examples of this in the attached image. However, your boxes can be shaded in anywhere in the grid, as long as only 3 of them are shaded in!

Answer:

Kayla = 0.4 inches

Miranda = 0.46 inches

Stefano = 0.5 inches

Kateira = 0.58 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Kateira plant = 0.58 inches

Stefano plant = 1/2 inch

Change to decimal

Stefano plant = 0.5 inches

Kayla plant = 0.4 inches

Miranda plant = 5/11 inches

Change to decimal

Miranda plant = 0.46 inches

Order from least to greatest

= 0.4, 0.46, 0.5, 0.58 inches
