There are 90 males and 75 females that came to Jeff's house for a party. Jeff wants to split the males into equal groups and the females into equal groups to play a game. The groups of males and females must have the same amount of people. What is the greatest number of people that can be in each group?

15 people

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that there are 90 males and 75 females.

This question is a greatest common factor question.

We find the factors of 75 and 90

The factors of 75 are: 1, 3, 5, 15, 25, 75

The factors of 90 are: 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10, 15, 18, 30, 45, 90

Then the greatest common factor is 15.

The greatest number of people that can be in each group is 15

the largest number of the four options is 1.8 x 10-2

you have it in scientific notation.

1.80 x 10-6   = 0.00000180

1.80 x 10-4   = 0.000180 (bigger, or "less small", than the former one)

so

1.8 x 10-2       = 0.0180. as you see. the "less small", or the biggest one of them all.

as you have negative exponent, it means you are dividing 1.8 by 100 (i.e. moving the dot towards left, two times).

if you had positive exponent for the scientific notation, power of tenths, you would be multiplying times 100 (moving the dot towards right) as below:

1.8 x (10)2 = 180

so. if you have negative exponent in scientific notation, move the dot toward left. if it is positive, toward right as many times the exponent tells you.
