Let's go through the steps of factoring that Venita should take.
1.) Find the greatest common factor (GCF). We only have two terms, so that makes it pretty easy.
32 = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
8 = 1, 2, 4, 8
The greatest common factor of 32 and 8 is 8. We can also factor out a <em>b</em> since that term appears in each part of the original expression. The GCF and variable should go on the outside of the parentheses.
8b( )
2.) Now let's figure out what should go in the middle of the parentheses. To do this, use the original expression and divide each term. This is written in the parentheses.
32ab ÷ 8b = 4a
8b ÷ 8b = 1
This would then result in the factored expression 8b(4a - 1). You can always check this by using the distributive property. Distribute 8b out to both expressions:
8b x 4a = 32ab
8b x 1 = 8b
32ab - 8b is the expression she started with, so your factored expression works!
Now that we went through the steps to solve the factored expression, let's check her answer. The only difference between Venita's and ours is that she has 0 as the second term while we have a 1. It seems that she had subtracted the GCF from the second term instead of dividing.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
l = 4m = 400 cm
w = 3m = 300 cm
Volume = 720000 cubic cm = 720000
length * width * height = 720000
400 * 300 * height = 720000
height = 720000 / 400 * 300 = 72/12 = 6 cm

Talking to Your Parents
Sure, you talk to your parents, but what if you need to really talk? Maybe you have a problem you can't solve alone. Or it could be that you want to feel closer to your Mom and Dad.
It's easy to say "Hi, Mom" or "Dad, can you pass the potatoes?" It can be harder to start talking about personal topics. Still, it's good to confide in your parents. In fact, it can help a lot.
Be Brave and Start Talking
Let's face it, talking about personal stuff can feel embarrassing. But remember, your parents know you pretty well — and they were your age once, too! So don't let a little embarrassment stop you. It's OK to go ahead and share what's on your mind.
Some kids might think if they share a problem, they'll make a parent worried or upset. But your mom or dad can handle knowing about your problem, big or small. If they look concerned, it just means they care, and that they feel for you.
