Answer:
I'm not sure what method this was but I added up all the numbers and divided it by 5.
Step-by-step explanation:
The answer is 13. I added up all the numbers to get 65. Then, I divided 65 by 5 to get 13. Hope this helped!
Answer:
first find the common factors of 18,26 and 72.
18: 1,2,3,6,9,18
26: 1,2,13,26
72: 1,2,3,4,6,8,12,18,24,36,72
next, find the common factors which can divide all numbers: 2
then find the highest factor which can divide all numbers. in this case, we only have one factor which is 2 and that shall be the H.C.F.
Answer:
Area
Step-by-step explanation:
When covering the surface of a solid, we measure or calculate the area.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
What this question is asking of you is what is the greatest common divisor of 12 and 15. Or, what is the biggest number that divides both 12 and 15.
in order to find this we have to split each number into it's prime components.
for 12 they are 2,2 and 3 (
2
⋅
2
⋅
3
=
12
)
and for 15 they are 3 and 5 (
3
⋅
5
=
15
)
Out of those two groups (2,2,3) and (3,5) the only thing in common is 3, so 3 is the greatest common divisor. That tells us that the greatest number of groups that can exist and have the same number of girls and the same number of boys for each group is 3.
Now to find out how many girls and boys there are going to be in each group we divide the totals by 3, so:
12
3
=
4
girls per group, and
15
3
=
5
boys per group.
(just as a thought exercise, if there were 16 boys, the divisors would have been (2,2,3) and (2,2,2,2), leaving us with 4 groups [
2
⋅
2
] of 3 girls [12/4] and 4 boys [16/4] )
This works out beautifully. You COULD use long division here, but since your numerator is a quadratic, your first instinct should be to try and factor it. If you factor it, it works out to be (x - 3)(x + 2). Now it just so happens that when you do that, the (x - 3) in the numerator will cancel with the (x - 3) in the denominator leaving you with one sad and lonely (x + 2) as your answer.
