To find the maximum number of identical packs we see we have 72 pencils and 24 calculators.

This involves discovering the largest number that divides both 72 and 24 evenly,
which is known as the GCM or greatest common multiplier.

To determine the GCM, factor 72 into primes and group them:
72=2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 3
24=2 times 2 times 2 times 3
Thus, the common grouping is 2 times 2 times 2 times 3, equating to 24.
Therefore, the maximum number of packs is 24.

For pencils:
72 divided by 24=3
Resulting in 3 pencils per pack.

For calculators:
24 divided by 24=1
So, 1 calculator per pack.

The outcome is 3 pencils and 1 calculator in each pack.

3 pencils per box.

The GCF of 72 and 24 is 24. 72 divided by 24 equals 3, and 24 divided by 24 gives 1.

Consequently, there are 3 pencils and 1 calculator per box. In summary, there are 3 pencils for each box.

“The perimeter P of a triangle is equal to the sum of the lengths of sides a,b, and c”
AnnZ [12381]

Answer:

1. Calculate the sum of "a", "b" and "c".

2. The perimeter equation is: P=a+b+c

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, P denotes the triangle's perimeter while a, b, and c are the triangle's sides.

The definition states that the sum results from an addition operation. Thus, the statement "The perimeter P of a triangle equals the total of sides a, b, and c" means that the perimeter is determined by aggregating the lengths of the triangle's sides.

Consequently, you can express this in the following equation:

P=a+b+c

Solve y=3bx-7x for x
AnnZ [12381]
Y = 3bx - 7x
y = x(3b - 7)

Assuming 3b - 7 ≠ 0, divide both sides by 3b - 7.
\frac{y}{3b-7} =x

Solution:
x= \frac{y}{3b-7}

Threatened monarch butterflies are monitored by measuring the area occupied by overwintering butterflies in Mexico. According to
Leona [12618]

Answer:

14.2 hectares

Step-by-step explanation:

Fund Mexico reports that monarch butterflies occupied 1.13 hectares in one winter and 4.01 hectares the next winter (one year later)

The Geometric growth formula is

(Pt/ Po)^1/t

Where Pt = Size after t years = 4.01 hectares

Po = Initial size = 1.13

t = time = 1

=( 4.01/1.13 )^1/1

= 3.5486725664

Thus, the geometric growth rate is 3.5486725664.

The area they will occupy in hectares after one more year = Current area × Geometric growth rate

= 4.01 ×3.5486725664

= 14.230176991 hectares

Approximately equal to 14.2
