An archeologist marks off two equal sized sites for excavation. She uses a grid system to divide each square site into sections. One square has 8 sections. One square has 8 sections. The other square into more sections so that they have the same number of equal-sized sections. How many sections will each square have?

A. 14

B. 8

C. 24

D. 36

you have garbled the question, but I guess you want

LCM(8,6) = 24

Thanks

To find the answer, you need to determine how many sections the first square has and then divide the total number of sections into equal-sized sections for the second square.

The first square has 8 sections, according to the given information.

Since the second square needs to have the same number of equal-sized sections, you need to divide the total number of sections (8) into equal-sized sections.

To find the number of sections in the second square, you can use the formula:

Number of sections in the second square = (Number of sections in the first square * Desired number of equal-sized sections) / Number of sections in the first square

Let's use this formula to find the answer:

Number of sections in the second square = (8 * Desired number of equal-sized sections) / 8

We can simplify the formula by canceling out the common factor of 8:

Number of sections in the second square = Desired number of equal-sized sections

Since the second square needs the same number of equal-sized sections as the first square (which is 8), the answer is 8.

Therefore, the answer is B. 8.

An archeologist marks off two equal sized sites for excavation. She uses a grid system to divide each square site into sections. One square has 8 sections. One square has 6 sections. The other square into more sections so that they have the same number of equal-sized sections. How many sections will each square have?
