Answer:
120
Step-by-step explanation:
No. of plastic cups = 24
No. of straws =20
We need to find the smallest number of each that could be bought so that you had the same amount of cups and straws.
Prime factrisation of 24 = 2×3×2×2
Prime factorisation of 20 = 2×5×2
LCM = 120
Hence, the smallest number of each type will be 120.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Example 1: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.
Take the whole number (5), add a line below it (/), then add a 1 to the denominator.
5 = 5/1
Example 2: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.
Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 2 add a line below it (/), then add a 2 to the denominator.
5 = (5*2)/2 = 10/2
***This can be reduced to 5/1***
Example 3: Changing the whole number 5 into a fraction.
Take the whole number (5), multiply it by 3 add a line below it (/), then add a 3 to the denominator.
5 = (5*3)/3 = 15/3
***This can also be reduced to 5/1***
If you follow the pattern, you will realize all whole numbers are fractions already.
They are fractions with a denominator of 1. This fraction can be manipulated with all of the same standard rules you would traditionally use with fractions, even when the denominator isn’t shown.
A fraction is simply a way to describe portions of a whole. The denominator simply tells you how many pieces to break the whole into. When the denominator is 1, you are breaking the whole into one piece (or not breaking it apart at all.
I hope this helps.

Answer:
42 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
The attachment shows a couple of ways the figure can be considered.
a) Left and Right rectangles that are 5 cm high and 3 cm wide, together with a central rectangle that is 3 cm high and 4 cm wide. Then the total area is ...
5×3 + 3×4 + 5×3 = 15 + 12 + 15 = 42 . . . . cm²
__
b) An enclosing rectangle that is 5 cm high and 10 cm wide with a cut-out that is 2 cm high and 4 cm wide. Then the total area is ...
5×10 -2×4 = 50 -8 = 42 . . . . cm²
__
The area of the irregular figure is 42 cm².
