The statement is not always true.
For Example...
The LCM of 6 and 8 is not the product of the two numbers
6*8= 48
48 is not the LEAST common multiple
Multiples of 6 are...
6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48...
Multiples of 8 are....
8,16,24,32,40,48...
The least common multiple is 24 not 48 even though they are both common multiples.
Answer:
0.125 inches per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
2.25/18 = 0.125
0.125in per hour
There are two answers to this question
the first possible answer is 5, 6, and 7 and the second possible answer is -4, -3, and -2
Step-by-step explanation:
let the three numbers be (x-1), x, and (x+1)
the product of the smallest and largest number is 17 more than 3 times the middle number, or
(x-1)(x+1) = 3x+17, or
x^2-1 = 3+17, or
x^2-3x-18 = 0
(x-6)(x+3) = 0
So x = 6 or -3
Then just subtract one and add one to get the other integers. the three numbers are 5, 6, and 7 or -4, -3, and -2
