It is not a sum, it is a product.

3 times x = 24 (write equation)
3x = 24 (isolate x by dividing the coefficient, 3, on both sides)
/3 /3
x = 8 (this i your answer)

Therefore 3 times 8 gives you 24.

Hey there!

I believe instead of sum, it should be product. A product is a result of a multiplication problem, which is what we're doing when we do something "times" something else.

You could solve this by simply dividing 24 by 3 to get 8. You could then check this by multiply 3 by 8 to get 24 again.

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Answer:

The distance in one sweep is 100 cm approximately

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the distance the wiper covers in one sweep

Mathematically;

we have a structure like an arc of a circle. It is the length of this arc we want to calculate.

The formula for the length of an arc is;

theta/360 * 2 * pi * r

r is the radius which in this case is 50 cm

We have ;

115/360 * 2 * 3.1412 * 50 = 100 cm approximately

Hello!

The least common denominator is like the least common multiple. As you can see, these numbers already have the same denominators, and cannot be divided any further as they are prime.

Therefore, our answer is 3.

Race completed in 48 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of Max on hoverboard is = x

Then as per question speed of Victoria on hoverboard = 3x

Now it has been given in the question that speed of Victoria on foot is 1/3 of the speed of Max on hoverboard that will be = x/3

Now we will form the equation.
