Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Below numbers are divisible by the number of students:</u>
<u>Lets find GCF of 24 and 36:</u>
- 24 = 2*2*2*3
- 36 = 2*2*3*3
- GCF(24,36) = 2*2*3 = 12
The largest possible number of students is 12
Answer:
2744 pennies.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of pennies Al have initially.
We have been given that Al agreed to give 3/7 of his pennies to Bev, so number of pennies Bev will get would be
.
We are also told that Bev gave 3/7 of what she got from Al to Carl, so number of pennies that Carl will get would be
.
Further, Carl gave 3/7 of what he got from Bev to Dani, so number of pennies that Dani will get would be
.
We are also told that Dani received 216 pennies. Now, we will equate 216 to
and solve for x as shown below:
Therefore, Al have 2744 pennies initially.
-2y + 5z = -3
y = -5x - 4z - 5
x = 4z + 4
-2(-5(4z + 4) - 4z - 5) + 5z = -3
-2(-20z - 20 - 4z - 5) + 5z = -3
-2(-20z - 4z - 20 - 5) + 5z = -3
-2(-24z - 25) = -3
48z + 50 = -3
<u> - 50 - 50</u>
<u>48z</u> = <u>-53</u>
48 48
z = -1⁵/₄₈
x = 4(-1⁵/₄₈) + 4
x = -4⁵/₁₂ + 4
x = ⁵/₁₂
y = -5(⁵/₁₂) - 4(-1⁵/₄₈) - 5
y = -2¹/₂ + 4⁵/₁₂ - 5
y = 1¹¹/₁₂ - 5
y = -3¹/₂
(x, y, z) = (⁵/₁₂, -3¹/₂, -1⁵/₄₈)
