The factors of a number are all positive integers that divide evenly into the number. The factors of 48 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24, 48.

If 78% of the town's 19,000 voters cast ballots the number of votes cast is:

(\( \frac{78}{100} \)) x 19,000 = \( \frac{1,482,000}{100} \) = 14,820

The mayor got 83% of the votes cast which is:

(\( \frac{83}{100} \)) x 14,820 = \( \frac{1,230,060}{100} \) = 12,301 votes.

If the tiger has consumed 78 pounds of food in 6 days that's \( \frac{78}{6} \) = 13 pounds of food per day. The tiger needs to consume 117 - 78 = 39 more pounds of food to reach 117 pounds total. At 13 pounds of food per day that's \( \frac{39}{13} \) = 3 more days.

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

9\( \sqrt{18} \) + 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{9 \times 2} \) + 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
9\( \sqrt{3^2 \times 2} \) + 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
(9)(3)\( \sqrt{2} \) + 5\( \sqrt{2} \)
27\( \sqrt{2} \) + 5\( \sqrt{2} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{44}{8} \) = 5\(\frac{1}{2}\)

So, it will take 5 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 6 vans.
