GCF means greatest common factor and LCM means Least common multiple.

GCF is greatest common factor, for example the GCF of 4 (1, 2, 4) and 12 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12) is for because that is the biggest factor they have in common.

LCM is lowest common multiple, for example the LCM of 4 (4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, etc.) and 12 (12, 24, 36, 48, 60, etc.) is 12 because that is the smallest multiple they have in common.

You really need to know the difference between a factor and a multiple to understand it.

Hope this helps. :)

Elena has a washing machine with a 20 gallon capacity. She always uses a 20 gram measure of soap for every 10 gallons of water.

baherus [9]

Answer:

For $20$ minutes Elena add water to correct the error.

Step-by-step explanation:

The capacity of the washing machine is $20$ gallons.

She uses $20$ gram soap for $10$ gallon of water

Her son by mistake dissolved $60$ grams of soap to $10$ gallons of water.

$\[60\]-$ gram soap is right for $30$ gallons of water, thus $20$ gallon of water must be added more.

She pore water $2$ gallons per minute thus, $20$ gallons of water will take $10$ minutes.

At a local school supply store, a highlighter costs $1.25, a ballpoint pen costs $0.80, and a spiral notebook costs $2.75. Expla

egoroff_w [7]

Since the communative property shows you can add or multipy in any order, this means you can add all three of these in a different order and still get the same answer.....For example, you can do $1.25 + $0.80 + $2.75 or you can switch it around and do it in another way

What is the explicit equation for this series 25,21,17,13

Neko [114]

Answer:

The explicit rule is:

Step-by-step explanation:

The explicit rule is given by:

$a_n=a_1+d(n-1)$

The given sequence is 25,21,17,13

$a_1=25$

d=21-25

d=-4

We plug in the values into the formula to get;

$a_n=25+-4(n-1)$

$a_n=25-4n+4$

$a_n=29-4n$

Ahat [919]

Answer: $22.68

last year 1/5 of the students in your class played a sport this year 10 students join the class five of the new students play a

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

last year 1/5 of the class played sports, so s = (1/5) c

the next year, s increased by 5, c increased by 10 and the fraction changed to 1/4, so for the next year (s+5) = (1/4)(c+10)

To solve this we can substitute s = (1/5)c from the first equation into the second, so

((1/5)c + 5)=(1/4)(c+10), simplify both sides

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 10/4, simplify 10/4 to 5/2

(1/5)c + 5 = (1/4)c + 5/2, multiply both sides by 20 to eliminate fractions (least common multiple of 2, 4 and 5)

4c + 100 = 5c + 50, subtract 4c, subtract 50 from both sides

50 = c, number of students in class last year was 50, this year is 10 more, so this year is 60
