950 square feet

It makes sense since 2 3/8 is a little more than double of 1

And 950 is a little more than double of 400

2 3/8 = 19/8

400x(19/8)=

400x19 = 7,600

7,600/8=950

Since it is double plus 3/8

it will be 800 +3/8of 400

3/8 of 400 =150

800+150 = 950

950 square feet. 2 gallons is 800, 1/8 of a gallon is 50, 50x3 =150. 800+150=950 gallons

Two gears in a machine are aligned by a mark drawn from the center of one gear to the center of the other. If the first gear has

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first gear

revolutions/teeth

1 / 24

2 / 48

3 / 72

4 / 96

5 / 120

6 / 144

for the second gear

revolutions/teeth

1 / 40

2 / 80

3 / 120

4 / 160

<em>the two marks will meet after 120 teeth, 5 revolutions of the first gear and 3 revolutions of the second.</em>

the way to get that amount of teeth is

$24 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 = {2}^{3} \times 3$

$40 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 = {2}^{3} \times 5$

the Least Common Multiple equals the product of all factors, but those factors who are repeted for both numbers should be only once.

${2}^{3} \times 5 \times 3 = 120$

120 teeth are 5 revolutions for gear1 and 3 por gear2
