So 72 pencils and 24 calculators
so greates number of identical calculators

this means
what is the biggest number that we can divide 72 and 24 by and get a whole number
this is called the GCM or greatest common multipule

to find the GCM, you factor 72 and group the like ones
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
so the common group is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 or 24
so the greates number of packs is 24

so pencils
72 divided by 24=72/24=3
3 pencils per pack

24 divided by 24=24/24=1
1 calulator per pack


answer is 3 pencils and 1 calculator per pack

3  pencils per box.

The GFC of 72 and 24 is 24. 72 divide by 24 is 3, 24 divided by 24 is 1.

Therefore, there are 3 pencils and 1 calculator each box. To answer your question, 3  pencils per box.

A university warehouse has received a shipment of 25 printers, of which 10 are laser printers and 15 are inkjet models. If 6 of
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The probability is 0.31

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the probability, we will consider the following approach. Given a particular outcome, and considering that each outcome is equally likely, we can calculate the probability by simply counting the number of ways we get the desired outcome and divide it by the total number of outcomes.

In this case, the event of interest is  choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. At first, we have a total of 25 printers and we will be choosing 6 printers at random. The total number of ways in which we can choose 6 elements out of 25 is \binom{25}{6}, where \binom{n}{k} = \frac{n!}{(n-k)!k!}. We have that \binom{25}{6} = 177100

Now, we will calculate the number of ways to which we obtain the desired event. We will be choosing 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets. So the total number of ways this can happen is the multiplication of the number of ways we can choose 3 printers out of 10 (for the laser printers) times the number of ways of choosing 3 printers out of 15 (for the inkjets). So, in this case, the event can be obtained in \binom{10}{3}\cdot \binom{15}{3} = 54600

So the probability of having 3 laser printers and 3 inkjets is given by

\frac{54600}{177100} = \frac{78}{253} = 0.31

antoniya [11.8K]
We can use the 9 inches wide to determine that 18 inches of the 42 inches are the wide sides. 42 - 18 = 24, so we divide 24 by how many long sides there are, 2. 24 ÷ 2 = 12. The box was 12 inches long.

3 Ximena draws an X shape in the coordinate plane as shown. Draw the images of
VARVARA [1.3K]

When a shape is rotated, it must be rotated around a point.

<em>See attachment for the image of each rotation.</em>

To do this, the top coordinates of the X shape will be transformed using the appropriate rotation rule; the same rule will then be applied to the other parts of the X shape.

The top coordinates of the X shape are:

A = (0,0)

B = (1,0)

C = (3,0)

D =(4,0)

For 90 degrees counterclockwise rotation, the rule is:

(x,y) \to (-y,x)

So, we have:

A' = (0,0)

B' = (0,1)

C' = (0,3)

D' = (0,4)

For 180 degrees rotation, the rule is:

(x,y) \to (-x,-y)

So, we have:

A' = (0,0)

B' = (-1,0)

C' = (-3,0)

D' = (-4,0)

For 270 degrees counter rotation, the rule is:

(x,y) \to (y,-x)

So, we have:

A' = (0,0)

B' = (0,-1)

C' = (0,-3)

D' = (0,-4)

See attachment for the image of each rotation
