a rectangle of side 48cm by 60cm is divided into squares of side x cm. find the greatest value of x and find the area of the area.​

greatest value of X = 12

Area of square = 144 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest value of X will be the highest common factor of 48 and 60 since we are told that the rectangle is divided into squares.

Factors of 48: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48

Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60

The highest common factor between both factors of 48 and 60 is 12.

Thus,

greatest value of X = 12

Area of square = 12 × 12

Area of square = 144 cm²

answer: 4 meters

step-by-step explanation: to you understand 2/3 better you can do 1 divided by 3 = . then multiply that by the 2 which is .66666666666666667 then you would do 6 x .66666666666666667 which is 4.
