Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of cockles be c and that of winkles be w.

From the first relation,

w = 2c ..........(I)

From the second relation, 6 winkles are accidentally split.

This in equation form means the following:

c/w- 6 = 3/5

By cross multiplication,

5c = 3(w - 6)...........(ii)

We know w = 2c , let’s substitute this into the second equation.

5c = 3(2c - 6)

5c = 6c - 18

Collecting like times, c = 18

And w = 2c = 2(18) = 36

Hence, there were initially 18 cockles and 36 winkles

For PE Mr Jones wants to split boys and girls equally into as many mixed groups as possible. There are 168 boys and 60 girls. Ho
Bond [772]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

You need the greatest common factor of 168 and 60.

168 = 2^3 * 3 * 7

60 = 2^2 * 3 * 5

For the GCF, you need common factors with the lower exponent.

Between 2^3 and 2^2, choose 2^2.

Then you have 3 as a common factor.

5 and seven are not common.

GCF = 2^2 * 3 = 12

Answer: 12
