He is not correct because 3.5 is actually 3 and 1/2
not 3/5
hope that helps @:)
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
Criteria:
• same number of books on each shelf
⇒find a number that divides 58 and 145
• greatest number of books on each shelf
⇒find the greatest number that divides 58 and 145
Find the GCF of 58 and 145.
58 = 2 ⋅ 29
145 = 5 ⋅ 29The GCF of 58 and 145 is 29.
Each shelf will contain 29 books.
There are 203 total books (because 58 + 145 = 203).
Divide 203 by 29 to find the number of shelves there should be.
203 / 29 = 7
Therefore, there will be 7 shelves.
The length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches
<h3>How to determine the value</h3>
From the information given, we have that;
- Scale drawing was used
- 0. 25 inches represents 2 feet
- The length of the building is 250 feet
Then,
If 0. 25 inches = 2 feet
Then x inches = 250 feet
cross multiply
x × 2 = 0. 25 × 2500
Multiply through, we have;
2x = 62. 5
Make 'x' the subject by dividing both sides by 2
2x/2 = 62. 5/ 2
x = 31. 25 Inches
Thus, the length of the building in the scale drawing is 31. 25 Inches
