Response: Using the Pythagorean theorem, we can set up the equation as 14^2=9^2+x^2
-9^2 -9^2
Thus, our equation simplifies to
x^2=14^2-9^2
Avoid repeating the question as it can be perplexing.
Given 100 cookies and 20 brownies,
What is the highest number you can divide them equally by?
To find the greatest common factor,
Factor them:
100 = 2*2*5*5
20 = 2*2*5
Thus, the greatest common factor, which is shared between them, is 2*2*5 or 20.
Calculating further, 100/20=5
20/20=1
This means there are 20 groups, each containing 5 cookies and 1 brownie.
20 groups
The pot has the capability to hold 1/3 more than its current level. Therefore, 1/3 of 5 1/2 quarts equals:
(1/3)(11/2) = 11/6 quarts. Thus, the total capacity of the pot is 11/6 quarts.
