Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What this question is asking of you is what is the greatest common divisor of 12 and 15. Or, what is the biggest number that divides both 12 and 15.
in order to find this we have to split each number into it's prime components.
for 12 they are 2,2 and 3 (

⋅
2
⋅
3
=

)
and for 15 they are 3 and 5 (
3
⋅
5
=
15
)
Out of those two groups (2,2,3) and (3,5) the only thing in common is 3, so 3 is the greatest common divisor. That tells us that the greatest number of groups that can exist and have the same number of girls and the same number of boys for each group is 3.
Now to find out how many girls and boys there are going to be in each group we divide the totals by 3, so:
12
3
=
4
girls per group, and
15
3
=
5
boys per group.
(just as a thought exercise, if there were 16 boys, the divisors would have been (2,2,3) and (2,2,2,2), leaving us with 4 groups [

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
is the situation could the expression model.
Answer:
A: 6 triangles with height 10.4 inches each and base 12 inche
B: 62.4 square inches
C: 374.4 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: You can form a triangle by connecting E to the top of the segment and connecting the top of the segment to D. Recreating this with each section will create 6 triangles with height 10.4 inches each and base 12 inches.
Part B: The area of a triangle is A = 1/2b*h. Substitute h = 10.4 and b = 12.
A = 1/2*10.4*12 = 62.4
Part C: There are 6 triangles each with area 62.4. So the area of the whole figure will be 6*62.4 = 374.4.
C - 3 1/12
Get a common denominator
3*3 / 4*3 + 1*4 / 3*4
Simplifies into 9/12 + 4/12
Adds to 13/12.
12 goes into 13 1 time, leaving us with 1 1/12
Add the 1 to the 2 full cups that already existed in the original problem - 3 1/12
