Two numbers have theses properties . both numbers are greater than 6 . their hcf = 6 . their lcm = 60. what are the two numbers

1 answer:

6 0

Let the numbers be x and y.
x*y=HCF*LCM=6*60=360
thus
y=360/x
next we find the list of combinations of x and y and test if they satisfy the conditions above:
(6,60),(12,30),(18,20),(24,15)
out of the above, only (6,60) and (12,30) satisfy both conditions. Thus our answer is:
(6,60) or (12,30)

For addition and subtraction the answer should have the same number of decimal places as the least number of decimal places involved in the operation. For multiplication and division the number of significant value of the answer should be the same as the least number of significant values of the involved numbers.

a. 26 x 0.02584 = 0.67
b. 15.3: 1.1 = 14
c. 782.45 - 3.5328 = 778.92
d. 63.258 + 734.2 = 797.5

a piece of string is 112 inches long. Isabel wants to cut into two pieces so that one piece is as three times as long as the oth

Neko [114]

Let the length of one be = x

Length of the other = 3x

Total length = 112 inches

x + 3x = 112

4x = 112

x = 112/4 = 28

x = 28 , 3x = 3*28 = 84

So the lengths are 28 and 84 inches.
