Part A: First, list multiples for each number. The multiples of 5 are: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, etc. The multiples of 12 are: 12, 24, 36,48, 60, etc. The least common multiple is the first common multiple between the two, in this case being 60. The LCM of 5 and 12 is 60.
Part B: SImilar to above, list all factors for each number. 72: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, and 72. 81: 1, 3, 9, 27, and 81. The greatest common factor is the highest common number, 9 in this case. The GCF of 72 and 81 is 9.
Part C: To rewrite, we need to take out the 9 by dividing. 72/9 is 8. 81/9 is 9. Therefore, we would get 9(8+9), to equal 153. Your answer here is 9( 8 + 9 ). Hope this helped!
Use multipliers: The normal price the shop would sell the racquet for is: 1.6 * 200 = 320 '1.6' is the multiplier that I got using the percentage. Multiplying a value by 1.6 is the same as increasing the value by 60%. If you multiplied it by 0.1 (which is the same as dividing by 10), you would get just 10% of the value. Back to the question, now we can use the multiplier 0.75 because we are are reducing the price by 25% (0.25 as a decimal), so: 320 * 0.75 = 240 And now we want just the profit so we take off how much it cost the shop to buy ($200): 240 - 200 = 40
If the probability that a random high school student plays a sport is 0.188 (150/800), which means for every 1 high school student 0.188 of them play a sport. Multiply 0.188x1,000 to get 188 students who play a sport.
