Wouldn't it be 140 bags with one of each in it; unless you need to use all the candies?

Answer: 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Claire bought 180 candies and 140 pens for goody bags for her birthday.

To find : The largest number of goody bags that Claire can make so that each goody bag has the same number of candies and the same number of pens ( such that no pens or candies left).

So we find the GCF ( Greatest common factor ) or Number of candies and Number of pens.

i.e. we need to find GCF of 180 and 140 .

Prime factorization of 180 = 2\times2\times3\times3\times5

Prime factorization of 140 =2\times2\times7\times5

The greatest common factor of 180 & 140 = 2\times2\times5=20

∴ Claire can make 20 goody bags so that each goody bag has the same number of candies and the same number of pens.

Answer: 645 cars

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 172 by 4 to find the multiple which is 43 so if 4 was multiplied by 43 to get 172 taxis you must multiply 15 by 43 which gives 645

If the tax rate on homes in Topeka, Kansas is 2.4 percent of their value and Bonnie owns a $100,000 house, how much will the rea
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

  $200

Step-by-step explanation:

The annual tax bill is ...

  2.4% × $100,000 = $2,400

On a monthly basis, that is ...

  $2400/(12 mo) = $200/mo

Taxes will add $200 per month to Bonnie's mortgage payment.

The sun subtend an angle at 35degree from the centre of the earth whose distant from the centre of the earth is 382,100km. Find
Sonbull [250]

Study the figure attached below:

Answer:

240951.33km      

Step-by-step explanation:

For this type of question first we need to draw the figure as shown in the attached file (Figure.1).

Looking at the figure, we can see that triangle ABC is formed by bisecting the angle 35 degree (i.e. if the angle is bisected, it will divide into two equal parts, so 35 degree will divide into two equal parts of 17.5 degree).

As the triangle ABC is a right triangle, so we can use the trigonometric ratios to find the diameter of the sun.

tan(\theta )= \frac{perpendicular}{Base}

In the triangle ABC, perpendicular (opposite side to \theta ) is BC and base (Adjacent side) is AC

tan(\theta)=\frac{BC}{AC}

\theta=17.5 degree

AC=382100km

Putting the values, we get

tan(17.5)=\frac{BC}{382100}\\ \\BC=tan(17.5)*382100km\\\\BC=0.315*382100km\\\\BC=120475.66km

Diameter=d=2*Radius

As BC is the distance from center of the sun, it is the radius, so we can find the diameter if we multiply it by 2.

Diameter of the sun=d=2*120475.66km

The\ diameter\ of\ the\ sun\ = 240951.33km

For a particular clothing store, a marketing firm finds that 16% of $10-off coupons delivered by mail are redeemed. Suppose six
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The expected number of coupon  is E(X) = 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

 The probability that a $10 coupons delivered by mail will be redeemed is p = 0.16

  The sample size is  n =  10

Generally the expected number of coupons that will be redeemed is mathematically represented as

         E(X) = np

=>       E(X) = 10 * 0.16

=>       E(X) = 1.6
