Max bought 2 deli sandwiches rolls measuring 18 inches and 30 inches. he wants them to be cut into equal sections that are as long as possible. into what lengths should the rolls be cut? how many sections will their be in all?

The answer to your question is length = 6 in, # of pieces = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

2 sandwiches one of 18 in and other of 30 in

cut into equal sections

To solve this problem, use the greatest common divisor, so find the prime factors of both numbers.

                  18           30       2   Only 2 and three are common factors, then

                    9           15        3                2 x 3 = 6

                    3            5        3

                     1            5        5

                                   1

The length of the sections will be 6 inches

How many sections will be?   in the first 18/6 = 3 in the second 30/6 = 5

                                                 total = 8

dalila is incorrect. the whisker on the left is very long, going all the way out to 5. the whisker goes from 5 to 30, so it has a spread of 25. the rest of the box plot values are closer together, so 5 is an outlier
