Wasim's mom asks him to clean his room every 6 days, and wash his windows every 15 days. If he does them both today, when is the
White raven [17]

Answer:

30 days

Step-by-step explanation:

We solve the above question using Lowest Common Multiple Method.

Find and list multiples of each number until the first common multiple is found. This is the lowest common multiple.

Multiples of 6:

6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42

Multiples of 15:

15, 30, 45, 60

Therefore,

LCM(6, 15) = 30

Therefore, the NEXT time he will be cleaning his room and washing his windows on the same day is in 30 days time

Marissa rode her bike to the park and back home. She lives 2 3/10 miles from the park. How many miles did Marissa ride her bike
Dovator [93]
2\frac{3}{10} +2\frac{3}{10} =\frac{(2\times10)+3}{10}+\frac{(2\times10)+3}{10} =\frac{20+3}{10}+\frac{20+3}{10}\\\\=\frac{23}{10} +\frac{23}{10} =\frac{23+23}{10} =\frac{46}{10} =4\frac{6}{10} =\boxed{\bf{4\frac{3}{5}}}

Marissa rode 4 3/5 miles in all.

In the △PQR, PQ = 39 in, PR = 17 in, and the altitude PN = 15 in. Find QR.
Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

So, this triangle PQR can be broken into two right triangles, PNQ and PNR, with legs PQ = 39, PN =15, and QN = ? and PR = 17, PN = 15, and NR =? respectively.


Let's solve for what is easier first:

Since we know that 5-15-17 is a Pythagorean triplet, we can infer that NR is 5....like I said earlier, it is a right triangle, so this guess holds true.


Here comes the interesting part:

Now, we have one part of QR, which is QN.

The other part can be solved by using the Pythagorean theorem.

It is (39^2-15^2)^(1/2)..which gives you 36, the square root of 1296, which happens to be the difference between the squares of 15 and 39.

SO, QR = QN + NR

5+36 = 41

QR = 41.

Hope this helps!
