One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.
2: three occurrences
3: one occurrence
So, our LCM should be
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.
So, Marco can buy, at the very least, 24 beads of each color to have equal colors of beads.
Method 1:
Convert the mixed number to the improper fraction:
Make the product:
<em>canceled 2</em>
Method 2:
<em>use the distributive property a(b + c) = ab + ac</em>
Answer:
$82 per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Total cost to customer: $490
Cost for parts: $285
$490-$285 = $205
There is a total labor charge of $205.
The problem tells us that the customer paid for 2.5 hours of labor.
$205/2.5 hours = $82.00 per hour.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The pair of segments on the right tells you the ratio of the segment length above the horizontal line to that below the horizontal line is ...
18 : 6 = 3 : 1
Then x = 3 times 5 = 15.
12 is 3 times y, so y = 4.
