Bill cut out 6 squares and 8 circles . He divided the cutouts into groups so that the same number of squares and circles were in each group. What is the greatest number of groups he could have made?

2 groups

Step-by-step explanation

To find out how many groups can be made for 6 circles and 8 squares, start by finding what you can divide by both numbers.

                 6 can be divided by:                               8 can be divided by:

                                 1                                                                  1

                                 2                                                                 2

                                  3                                                                 4

                                  6                                                                 8

The greatest number that they both have in common is 2. There would be 3 circles and 4 squares if Bill divided into 2 groups.

I hope this helped. Let me know if you still have any questions!

reduce the friction between its moving parts

step-by-step explanation:

in fact, by reducing the friction between the moving parts of the machine, it is possible to reduce the energy wasted due to this friction; therefore, more input energy is converted into useful work, and this will improve the efficiency of the machine.
