We have been given that Judy’s brother Sam has a collection of 96 comic books.
We have been asked to find the 10 ways Sam could divide his comic books into equal groups.
This can be done as follows:
96 can be written as .
Thus, we can either have 2 groups of 48 comics or 48 groups of 2 comics. As we can see we have 2 ways to divide the comic books in equal groups.
Likewise, 96 can also be written as . Here, we can similarly see that we can either have 3 groups of 32 comics or 32 groups of 3 comics. As we can again see we have 2 more ways to divide the comic books in equal groups, taking the total number of ways to 4.
Continuing in this manner we will see that we can have 4 groups of 24 or 24 groups of 4, 6 groups of 16 or 16 groups of 6 and lastly 12 groups of 8 or 8 groups of 12 comic books, thus taking the count to a total of 10 ways in which Sam can divide his comic books into equal groups.
B OR D IT WAS confusing.
Step-by-step explanation:
I tried different equations multiple ways I'm pretty sure I did it wrong
<em><u>200x3=600</u></em>
<em><u>50x3=150</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em><u>600+150=750</u></em>
<em><u></u></em>
<em><u>750</u></em>
Answer:
Length = 16 feet.
Width = 7 feet
Height = 8 feet
Volume = 896 cubic feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
There is a rectangular prism boiler room. 112 square feet is the floor area of the room.
Let the length of the room is L feet and width is W feet.
So, LW = 112 ...... (1)
Now, given that L = 2 + 2W ........ (2) , hence, from equation (1) we get
(2 + 2W)W = 112
⇒ 2w + 2w² = 112
⇒ W² + W - 56 = 0
⇒ (W +8)(W - 7) = 0
⇒ W = 7 feet. {Neglecting the negative root as W can not be negative}
Hence, from equation (2) we get L = 2W + 2 = 16 feet.
Now, 1 foot more than the width is the height H.
Hence, H = 7 + 1 = 8 feet.
Therefore, the volume of the room is, V = LWH = 16 × 7 × 8 = 896 cubic feet. (Answer)
