60 dollars, because each movie ticket cost 12$.
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
⋅
2
⋅
3
=
12
)
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 [

] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
Answer:
<u> 105</u> students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The ratio of students who prefer pineapple to students who prefer kiwi is 12 to 5.
Now, to find number of students prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
Let the students prefer pineapple be 
And the students prefer kiwi be 
Total students = 357.
So, we set an equation to get the number of students who prefer kiwi.
According to question:
<em>Dividing both sides by 17 we get:</em>
<em>Thus, students prefer kiwi are:</em>
Therefore, 105 students could prefer kiwi if there are 357 total students.
$24.75
this is because 22 ÷ 8 × 9 is equal to 24.75
this is the correct answer
