Alannah has two lengths of ribbon.
ankoles [38]

Answer:

Longest possible length for each of the shorter lengths of ribbon is 9 cm because greatest common factor for both 36 and 45 is 9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Alannah has two ribbons one length is 36cm and other is 45cm.

It asked to find shorter length of ribbons that each cut into equal pieces with out no ribbon left over.

So, let's find greatest common factor for both 36 and 45.

Let's prime factor each number

36= 2*2*3*3

45= 3*3*5

So, GCF is product of common factors for both numbers.

GCF= 3*3 =9

So, longest possible length for each of the shorter lengths of ribbon is 9 cm.

The 11th grade class at Red Hook high school was surveyed about the types of music they liked. Of those surveyed, 64% said they
Zarrin [17]

22% liked neither.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

64% liked pop music.

52% liked rap music.

38% liked both type of music.

To find out the percentage of those liked neither.

Now,

Let, total number of student = 100

Number of students liked pop = 64

Number of students liked rap = 52

Number of students liked both = 38

So,

Number of students who liked only pop = 64-38 = 26

Number of students who liked only rap = 52-38 = 14

Hence,

Number of students who liked neither = 100 - (26+14+38) = 22

22% liked neither.

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 25 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get
Rom4ik [11]

Question:

You are in a bike race. When you get to the first checkpoint, you are 2/5 of the distance to the second checkpoint. When you get to the second check point, you are 1/4 of the distance to the finish. If the entire race is 40 miles, what is the distance between the start and the first check point?

Answer: 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let distance between start to first checkpoint = x

First checkpoint to second checkpoint = 2/5 of x

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 of start to checkpoint 2)

Distance of start to checkpoint 2 = (1/4 of start to finish)

If start to checkpoint 2 = 1/4 of start to finish

Then,

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = ( 2/5 * 1/4 of start to finish)

Distance of start to checkpoint 1 = 2/20 of start to finish = 1/10 of start to finish

Entire race = 40 miles = distance from start to finish

1/ 10 of 40

= ( 1/10) × 40

= 4 miles

Jordan prepares 200 name tags to use at a meeting. The number for each color of the name tag is described below.
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

The answer would be A. 55.

Step-by-step explanation:

For the 35% you would take your 200 and divide it by 2 and have two 100's. Since 35% is out of 100% you could take 35 from each 100 and add them together to get 70.

For the 3/8 you would divide and get .375 then you would multiply that by 200 which would give you 75 yellow tags. Then you would add 75 and 70 and get 145. Then subtract 145 from 200 to get 55. Therefore there would be 55 red tags.

Giselle buys two types of flowers 48 pink roses and 56 white lilies she combines the two flowers to make identical bouquets with
SSSSS [86.1K]

To solve this problem, let us first lay out all the factors of each number.

48 : 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

56 : 1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 14, 28, 56

The greatest number of bouquets that can be made would be equal to the greatest common factor of the two numbers. In this case it would be 8.

 

Answer:

<span>8 bouquets</span>
