Answer:

5 english students in each team

Step-by-step explanation:

So there are multiple ways to do this, you could do trial and error or you could factor out common numbers between the two.

Through trial and error, the lowest possible number of groups that could be divided between the number of students whilst still being able to maintain a whole # was 16 groups

  • 128 math students ÷16 groups = 8 math students/group
  • 80 english students ÷ 16 groups = 5 english students/group

The other way to solve this is to factor out common numbers between the two:

A rectangle has a perimeter of 30 ft. Find a function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides. What
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the other side of the rectangle be y. The perimeter of the rectangle is expressed as P = 2(x+y)

Given P = 30ft, on substituting P = 30 into the expression;

30 = 2(x+y)

x+y = 15

y = 15-x

Also since the area of the rectangle is xy;

A = xy

Substitute y = 15-x into the area;

A = x(15-x)

A = 15x-x²

The function that models its area A in terms of the length x of one of its sides is A = 15x-x²

The side of length x yields the greatest area when dA/dx = 0

dA/dx = 15-2x

15-2x = 0

-2x = -15

x = -15/-2

x = 7.5 ft

Hence the side length, x that yields the greatest area is 7.5ft.

Since y = 15-x

y = 15-7.5

y = 7.5

Area of the rectangle = 7.5*7.5

Area of the rectangle = 56.25ft²
