Answer:

\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{  \boxed{ \sf{536}}}}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution :

Here, 12 - 8 = 4

15 - 11 = 4

18 - 14 = 4

27 - 23 = 4

Thus, every divisor is greater than its remainder by 4. So, the required smallest number is the difference of the L.C.M of the given number and 4

<u>Finding </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>L.C</u><u>.</u><u>M</u>

First of find the prime factors of each numbers

12 = 2 × 2 × 3

15 = 3 × 5

18 = 3 × 3 × 3

27 = 3 × 3 × 3

Take out the common prime factors : 3 , 3 and 3

Also take out the other remaining prime factors : 2 , 2 and 5

Now, Multiply those all prime factors and obtain L.C.M

L.C.M = Common factors × Remaining factors

= 3 × 3 × 3 × 2 × 2 × 5

= 540

L.C.M of 12 , 15 , 18 and 27 = 540

So, The required smallest number = 540 - 4

= 536

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Which is bigger, 7/8" or 9/16"?
Iteru [2.4K]
7/8 and 9/16

7*2/8*2 = 14/16

14/16 and 9/16

Now since we have a common denominator, we can compare the numerators.

14/16 is greater, so 7/8 is greater than 9/16

Answer: 7/8 is bigger

What is the minimum number of clients the travel agent should survey? Note that z=1.96 for a 95% confidence interval.
slega [8]

Answer:

121

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data as per the question

Standard deviation = \sigma = 840

Margin of error = E = 150

Confidence level = c = 95%

For 95% confidence, z = 1.96

based on the above information, the minimum number of clients surveyed by the travel agent is

n = (\frac{z\times \sigma}{E})^2

=  (\frac{1.96\times 840}{150})^2

= 120.47

= 121

hence, the 121 number of clients to be surveyed

Therefore we applied the above formula to determine the minimum number of clients
