Answer: 6 miles will be saved.

Step-by-step explanation:

The total distance that he traveled is: 8 miles + 7 miles =15 miles to north.

And 5 miles + 3 miles = 8 miles to east.

Then the total distance is 15 miles + 8miles = 23 miles

If they did the direct path, the hipotenuse of a triangle with sides of 15miles and 8 miles, the distance would be:

D = √(15^2 + 8^2) = 17 miles

And the difference is equal to 23 miles - 17 miles  = 6 miles

So they will save 6 miles if they use a direct path.

6. We want to build the smallest cube possible using bricks with dimensions 8 cm - 12 cm 20 cm. How many bricks do we need?​
Georgia [21]

Answer:

1200

Step-by-step explanation:

We’ll need a number that is evenly dividable by all three values: 8,12 & 15. We can develop the generic common multiple by multiplying all three numbers and get 1440. But is that the smallest common multiple? The quick and dirty way to factor the number is to divide it by it’s various elements and see what works. In this case 1440/12=120 which is the smallest common multiple of the three numbers. The smallest length is therefore 120.

In order to find how many bricks just divide (120x120x120)/(8x12x15)=1200 bricks

Select the number property that will justify the step in the following expression. 2(5 • 17) = (2 • 5) 17 = 10 • 17 = 170
Andreyy89

The number property that will justify the step in the following expression. 2(5 • 17) = (2 • 5) 17 = 10 • 17 = 170 is; Associative Property

<h3>What is the Number Property that was used?</h3>

The associative property is a math rule that says that the way in which factors are grouped in a multiplication problem does not change the product.

Now, this associative property is used here because we see that;

2(5 • 17) = (2 • 5) 17

In both left and right hand sides we see that despite the change in order, the result remains the same.

we already have 20 silver, so we need to add 120-20, that is 100 silver cars!
