You need to find the greatest common factor of 30 and 48.

First find the prime factorizations of 30 and 48.

30/2 = 15
15/3 = 5
5/5 = 1

48/2 = 24
24/2 = 12
12/2 = 6
6/2 = 3
3/3 = 1

The prime factorizations are:
30 = 2 * 3 * 5
48 = 2^4 * 3

To find the GCF, you need the product of the common factors with the lower exponent.

Both 30 and 48 have 2 as a factor. 30 has 2 and 48 has 2^4. Pick the one with the lower exponent: 2.

Both 30 and 48 have 3 as a common factor. Pick 3.

GCF = 2 * 3 = 6

She needs 6 containers.

You find the gcf/ greatest common factor of both numbers which is 6, so 6 plastic containers.

How many models of 100 do you need to model 3200 explain
Nataly_w [17]
If you had 1 model and it equaled 100. You then would have 32 to equal 3200, because  32 X 100 = 3200. The answer would be 32 models to get you 3200.

If i leave my house at 6:52 am and run 1 mile at an easy pace (8:15 per mile), then 3 miles at tempo (7:12 per mile) and 1 mile
FinnZ [79.3K]

Running 2 miles at 8:15 per mile takes 16:30 minutes.

Running 3 miles at 7:12 per mile takes 21:36 minutes.

The total running time is 16:30 + 21:36 = 38:06 minutes. That length of time after 6:52 am is 7:30:06 am.

You get home for breakfast at 6 seconds past 7:30 am.

The equation 9(u – 2) + 1.5u = 8.25 models the total miles Michael traveled one afternoon while sledding, where u equals the num
MArishka [77]

Answer:

h = 2.5

Step by step explanation:

We have been given an equation 9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25 that models the total miles Michael traveled one afternoon while sledding, where u equals the number of hours walking up a hill and (u – 2) equals the number of hours sledding down the hill.

To find value of u we will solve our equation.

Upon using distributive property we will get,    

9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25

9u-18+1.5u=8.25

Now let us add 18 to both sides of our equation.

9u-18+18+1.5u=8.25+18

9u+1.5u=8.25+18

Now let us combine like terms.

10.5u=26.25

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 10.5 we will get,

u=\frac{26.25}{10.5}

u=2.5

Therefore, value of u is 2.5.

A hyperbola centered at the origin has a vertex at (0, 36) and a focus at (0, 39)
borishaifa [10]
To solve this problem you must apply the proccedure shown below:

 1. The vertex i at <span>(0, 36) and a focus at (0, 39), then you have:

 a=36
 a^2=1296

 2. The directrix is:

 y=a^2=c
 c=39
 y=1296/39
 </span>y=432/13<span> 

 Therefore, the answer is the option D, which is: </span><span>D. y=± 432/13</span>
