factors of 28 = 1, 2, 4, 7, 14, and 28.
factors of 21 = 1, 3, 7, and 21.
so among those, the greatest common factor = 7.

b. How many blue beads and how many red beads will be on each bracelet?

The number of blue beads and red beads will be on each bracelet = 7.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
the number of blue beads = 4.
the number of red beads = 3.
4 + 3 = 7.

Stan is in wood working class with 6 friends. They have to split a board that is 4$$\frac{2}{3}$$ feet long equally among the seven of them. How long will each person’s piece be?

The long will each person’s piece be = 4.6 feet.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
Stan is in woodworking class with 6 friends.
They have to split a board that is 4$$\frac{2}{3}$$ feet long equally among the seven of them.
4(2/3) = 3 x 4 = 12.
12 + 2 = 14.
14/3 = 4.6.

Question 2.

The area of a rectangle is 10$$\frac{1}{2}$$ square feet. The length is 5$$\frac{1}{4}$$ feet. How wide is the rectangle?

The width of the rectangle = 2 ft.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
the area of a rectangle is 10(1/2) sq ft.
length = 5 (1/4) ft.
10 x 2 = 20.
20 + 1 = 21.
21/2 = 10.5.
5 x 4 = 20.
20 + 1 = 21.
21/4 = 5.25.
area = l x w.
10.5 = 5.25 x w.
w = 10.5/5.25.
w = 2 ft.
so the width of the rectangle = 2 ft.

Question 3.
Sounya walks dogs on Saturdays. It takes $$\frac{3}{4}$$ of an hour to walk each dog. She has 5$$\frac{1}{4}$$ hours. How many dogs can she walk?

The number of dogs she can walk = more than 5 dogs.

Explanation:
In the above-given question,
given that,
Sounya walks dogs on Saturdays.
It takes 3/4 of an hour to walk each dog.
she has 5(1/4) hours.
3/4 = 0.75.
5(1/4) = 5 x 4 = 20.
20 + 1 = 21.
21/4 = 5.25.
