Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The least common multiple of {6,8,12} is 24. This can be intuitively figured by noting that any multiple of 12 is a multiple of 6 and that 12 is 1.5x larger than 8. That means we only have so multiple 12 by 2 and 8 by 3 for them to be equal. The GCF of {20,42,72} is 2 as the prime factorization of 20 is 2x2x5 and 42 is 2x3x7. That means even without having to check 72 (which is clearly even so 2 is a factor), we know that 2 is the greatest common factor that they could share. So X/Y = 24/2 = 12

Answer:
9/4
Step-by-step explanation:
When you divide by a number, whole number or fraction, it's exactly like multiplying by its inverse.
Like if you divide 4 by 2, you can easily express that has 4 * 1/2.
In the same manner, when you divide 3/4 by 1/3, you can say that you're multiplying 3/4 by 3/1
The result of 3/4 * 3/1 = 9 / 4
Which you cannot simplify because 9 and 4 don't have any common factors (other than 1). The only other way to express it would be 3²/2² or (3/2)²
Answer:
7.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Constance's car has a 12-gallon gas tank.
She can travel 25 miles on one gallon of gas, so she can travel
miles using all gas from the tank.
Constance begins with a full tank of gas and drives at a constant rate of 40 miles per hour.
So, Constance can drive for
hours.
Answer: 2/5
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of cans of red paint = 3
Number of cans of blue paint = 5
Number of cans of green paint = 8
Number of cans of yellow paint = 4
Total number of cans of paint = 20
The probability that Eduardo will
choose a can of red paint or a can of blue will be:
= P(red) + P(blue)
= 3/20 + 5/20
= 8/20
= 2/5
The probability is 2/5.
