MATHEMATICS MIDDLE SCHOOL

A debate competition has participants from three different schools: 15 from James Elementary, 18 from George Washington University, and 12 from the MLK Jr. Academy. All teams must have the same number of students. Each team can have only students from the same school. How many students can be on each team?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

The number of students in each team can be : 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have to form teams such that two conditions must be satisfied:

  • All teams must have equal number of students.
  • Each team can have only student from the same school.

Now on the basis of the above conditions to be satisfied we see that we can form "12 teams" such that each team must have "three students" from three different schools.

Hence, the number of students each team could have is 3.
Answer 2
Answer: Is the answer not 12?

If their only limitation is that they need equal numbers then it they can have 12.

Even though JE and GWU and more then 12 students they arent allowed to swap so the maximum that MLK Jr can have is only ever going to be 12

How do you know that the answer is 40?Maria wants to draw a painting with an are of 40 square inches. If she drew her painting on 1-inch grid paper how many squares would the painting cover?

Explain

Answers

With grid paper, each square is the same area. If the grid paper used is one-inch grid paper, that means each square on the paper is one square inch.Therefore, if Maria wants to draw something that is 40 square inches, it will fill 40 squares on the one-inch grid paper.

Can the fraction 2/1 be simplified

Answers

the answer is simple to work out you  do 3/8 + 1/3

but the denominators are different so you find the lowest common multiple in this case 24 .
the frection is now 9/24 + 8/24 this is 17/24
I changed the fraction by doing this 24(common multiple) divided by 8 (denominator) that's how I got it if you don't understand just ask me

X squared minus 18x minus 144 equals 0. Solve by factoring.

Answers

x^2 - 18x - 144 = 0

Factorise:
We choose 2 numbers that add to -18, and multiply to 144, these numbers are  +6 and -24, we put it into the brackets:

(x + 6)(x - 24)   <- x = the interted sign of the numbers inside the brackets

E.g. +6 turns into -6 and -24 turns into +24

x must = -6 or = +24
Answer got deleted because I have to explain it better, which I will kindly do.
(x^2 - 18x - 144) = 0
What two factors add up to equal -18 AND multiply to equal -144?
For a product to be a negative, one of the factors have to be a positive, and the other has to be a negative (positive times a negative equals a negative). 
And now that we know that, we know that the negative number has to be larger than the positive because of the -18. 
What two factors add up to equal -18 AND multiply to equal -144?
Negative 24 and positive 6.
(x - 24)(x + 6)
