Ok let's see.

The way to tackle this, is to first add up the ratio's.

So 4+8 = 12. Now this 12 is important as this is total number of shares (bunches) we need to allocate to 2 different flower colours.

Before we can know how much flowers = 4 and 8 bunches. We first need to work out how many flowers = 1 bunch.

It's simple.

108 (total number of flowers) ÷ 12 (bunches of flowers) = 9 flowers per bunch.

So if 1 bunch = 9 flowers.

4 : 8

= (4 bunches x 9 flowers) : (8 bunches x 9 flowers)

Which leads to...

36 purple : 72 black

Purple flowers: black flowers = 4:8 = 108

4 + 8 = 12

108 / 12 = 9. 

9 x 4 = 36. 

36 of the flowers are purple.

for two positive integers a and b, we know g c d (a comma b )equals 15 comma space l c m (a comma b )equals 90, what is a b?
Scilla [17]

Two positive integers have gcd (a, b) = 15 and lcm (a, b) = 90. Those two numbers are 15 and 90 or 30 and 45.

Suppose we have 2 positive integers, a and b, then:

gcd (a, b) = the greatest common divisor = common prime factors of a and b

lcm (a, b) = the least common multiple = multiplication of the greatest common prime factors of a and b

In the given problem:

gcd (a, b) = 15

prime factorization of 15:

15 = 3 x 5

Hence,

a = 3 x 5 x ....

b = 3 x 5 x ....

lcm (a, b) = 90

prime factorization of 90:

90 = 3 x 5 x 2 x 3

Therefore the possible pairs of a and b are:

Combination 1:

a = 3 x 5 = 15

b = 3 x 5 x 2 x 3 = 90

Combination 2:

a = 3 x 5 x 2 = 30

b = 3 x 5 x 3 = 35

We can conclude the two integers are 15 and 90 or 30 and 45.

A piece of rectangular sheet metal is 20 inches wide. Its is to be made into a rain gutter by turning up the edges to form paral
vivado [14]
Turning up the edges of the sheet metal will result in the 20 inches of metal being divided into x inches of the first side, then the unknown width of the gutter (let's call it "y") and then again x inches for the second side.

 As a picture: x|______|x/y

 As a formula: 20 = x + y + x = 2x + y

Resolving this to y we get: 20 - 2x = y

and switching it around: y = 20 - 2x,

Now for part b) of your question:
The area of the gutter's cross-section is its width (y) multiplied with its height (x).

A(x,y) = x * y
If we use our result from a) to eliminate y then we can see that
A(x) = x * y = x * (20-2x) = 20x-2x^2
So I'd say that the answer to part b) should be: A(x) = 20x - 2x^2
