Problem 4 (a) Three friends are packing sweets into gift boxes. They agree that
each box should contain the same number of sweets, but they are
each working in separate locations with their own pile of sweets so
cannot share boxes. Gwen has 286 sweets, Bill has 390 sweets and
Zeta has 468 sweets. If they put the largest number of sweets into
each box that they can and they use up all their sweets, how many
boxes of sweets will they pack?
(b) Use the Euclidean Algorithm to find the highest common factor of
8008 and 24255 (you need to show all working).

a) 26

b) 77

Step-by-step explanation:

x =-.20752

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752

answer: 7 x 2/5 = 2.8 hours, is your answer. your welcome! : 3

step-by-step explanation: first work out how long it took to hose 1/7 of the lawn which is 2/5 hours. times that by 7 to get the whole lawn.

sorry i don't know the other answer. i didn't learn what a proportional relationship is.
