Answer:

Cups: 5 packages,

Lids: 4 packages.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given that cups come in packages if 12 and lids come in packages of 15. We are asked to find the least of number of cups and lids that Corrine can buy if she wants to have the same number of cups and lids.

To solve our given problem, we need to find least common multiple of 12 and 15.

Prime factorization of 12: 2\times 2\times 3.

Prime factorization of 15: 5\times 3.

\text{LCM of 12 and 15}=2\times 2\times 3\times 5

\text{LCM of 12 and 15}=60

Now, we will divide 60 by 12 and 15 separately as:

\text{Least number of cup's packages}=\frac{60}{12}

\text{Least number of cup's packages}=5

Therefore, Corrine should buy 5 packages of cups.

\text{Least number of lid's packages}=\frac{60}{15}

\text{Least number of lid's packages}=4

Therefore, Corrine should buy 4 packages of lids.

What you need to do is find the smallest multiple that they both have (i forgot what that is called) list them like this:
12: 24 36 48 60 72 
15: 30 45 60 75 
60 is the lowest number that they both can multiply to
60 cups/lids is the answer

Joe has 5 more than twice as many calculators as John. Write an algebraic expression. *
yarga [219]

Answer:

B. 5 + 2p

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let's simplify the problem:</u>

Joe has 5 + more than 2(P) as many calculators as John.

*We'll be using Addition and Multiplication operations.

If Joe has 5 more than 2 times the amount of calculators, the algebraic expression will be:

5 + 2p

p represents John's amount of calculators.

5 + (5 more than) 2(P) Twice the amount of calculators John has.

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

24

Step-by-step explanation:

percent of 280 is 67.2

280×y/100=67.2

280y/100=67.2

2.8y=67.2

divide by 2.8

y=24

verify

280×24/100=67.2

6720/100=67.2

67.2=67.2

Tresset [83]

Answer:

Scale factor is used to find the coordinates depending upon whether the scale factor value is less than one or more than one.

Step-by-step explanation:

A scale factor is a number which scales, or increases, some amount. In the condition y = Cx, C is the scale factor for x. C is likewise the coefficient of x, and might be known as the steady of proportionality of y to x.

An object is augmented if the scale factor is more noteworthy than 1. An article is decreased if the scale factor is a division, under 1. To discover the expanded picture, we initially should know the directions of our unique picture. At that point we basically increase the arrange by the scale factor to discover the widened picture.
