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

Branliest<br> solve the equation <br> 8.7=3.5m-2.5(5.4-6m)
ira [324]
Simplifying
8.7 = 3.5m + -2.5(5.4 + -6m)
8.7 = 3.5m + (5.4 * -2.5 + -6m * -2.5)
8.7 = 3.5m + (-13.5 + 15m)

Reorder the terms:
8.7 = -13.5 + 3.5m + 15m

Combine like terms: 3.5m + 15m = 18.5m
8.7 = -13.5 + 18.5m

Solving
8.7 = -13.5 + 18.5m

Solving for variable 'm'.

Move all terms containing m to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-18.5m' to each side of the equation.
8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5 + 18.5m + -18.5m

Combine like terms: 18.5m + -18.5m = 0.0
8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5 + 0.0
8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5

Add '-8.7' to each side of the equation.
8.7 + -8.7 + -18.5m = -13.5 + -8.7

Combine like terms: 8.7 + -8.7 = 0.0
0.0 + -18.5m = -13.5 + -8.7
-18.5m = -13.5 + -8.7

Combine like terms: -13.5 + -8.7 = -22.2
-18.5m = -22.2

Divide each side by '-18.5'.
m = 1.2

Simplifying
m = 1.2

Is a triangle with the side lengths 4 feet, 7. 5 feet, and 8. 5 feet a right triangle? Why or why not? ​
Doss [256]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

You can test if a triangle is right-angled by using Pythagoras' Theorem.

So:

4^2 + 7.5^2 = 8.5^2

16 + 56.25 = 72.25

They do in fact add up so this triangle is right angled.

NEED HELP WITH 13 a-b!!!! PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer:

a - 6%

b - $7.50

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer for a

the only items that had sales tax were $3.00 and $0.50. The total tax for the both was $0.21 so you can find what percent 0.21 is of 3.00 + 0.50 o 3.50. Do this by dividing the percent you are looking for, 0.21, by what it is the percent of 3.50. 0.21 / 3.50 = 0.06. then you multiply the number you got, in this case 0.06 by 100 to find the percentage so it is 6%

The answer for b

Here you can just take the subtotal, $13.00, and subtract all the other prices and you will be left with the price of the top. 13.00 - 3.00 - 2.00 - 0.50 = 7.50. So the answer is $7.50
