If you think about it, the question is asking us to find the greatest common factor, or GCF, of the two numbers, 24 and 18.
First, find all of the factors of 24.
The factors are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 24
Next, find the factors of 18.
The factors are: 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 18
List out all of the factors that both of the numbers have.
The factors are: 1, 2, 3, 6
Whichever is the greatest of these numbers is the GCF.
The GCF is 6, so the greatest number of groups he can make and still be able to win is 6.
Hope this helps!
flooring a value, simply means, dropping it to the closest integer, so for the floor function or ⌊x⌋, that means
⌊ 2.5 ⌋ = 2
⌊ 2.00000001 ⌋ = 2
⌊ 2.999999999999⌋ = 2
⌊ -2.0000000001⌋ = -3
⌊ -2.999999999999⌋ = -3
let's recall that on the negative side of the number line, the farther from 0, the smaller, so -1,000,000 is a tiny number compared to the much larger -1.
⌊ -5.2 ⌋ = -6.
Answer:
21
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the mean, add up all the numbers
15+15+25+29 =84
Divide by the number of numbers
84/4 = 21
Subtract the two numbers to find the measurement of the leftover piece
5.6 - 1.71 = 3.89 feet
