A x b = 24

Possible values of a and b are:
1 x 24 = 24
2 x 12 = 24
3 x 8 =24
4 x 6 = 24

The possible sums of a and b are:
1 + 24 = 25
2 + 12 = 14
3 + 8 = 11
4 + 6 = 10

Therefore, the least possible sum of a and b is 10.

Answer:

The least possible sum is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two integers are "a" and "b".

The factors of 24 is: 2 × 2 × 2 × 3.

Thus, the possible combinations of "a" and "b" are:

2 and 12, 4 and 6, 8 and 3.

And, the sum of these combinations are: 2 +12 = 14

4 + 6 = 10

8 + 3 = 11

Thus, the least possible sum is 10 which is the combination of 4 and 6.

since there is a 6% sales tax, which is the same as 0.06. to calculate your tax, you would multiply both of the sides of the ratio by 75, and the left side will show you subtotal of what you are buying, the right will show tax.

The perpendicular bisector of a line segment is a line perpendicular to the segment that passes through its midpoint. What is th
adoni [48]

Answer:

y = 1/3 x.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the given line is

(4 - (-2) / 2 - 4)

=   -3.

So the slope of the line perpendicular to it = -1 / (-3) = 1/3.

This line also passes through the point (3, 1) so its equation is ( by the point-slope form):

y - 1 = 1/3(x - 3)

y - 1 = 1/3x - 1

y = 1/3 x (answer).

hope that help you mark me brinilylist

A baseball player hit 345 out of 1,000 balls pitched to him. What are the chances he gets a hit when he steps up to the plate?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

0.345

Step-by-step explanation:

hits/at-bats = 345/1000 = 0.345

The probability of a hit, any particular time he goes to bat. is 0.345.

The problem does not request any particular format, so 0.345 is a perfectly good answer.

In baseball, that is called a 'batting average', and is actually expressed that way - as a decimal - in a player's statistics.

On the other hand, if we did want to express the probability as a percentage, we would do this:  

0.345 * 100% = (0.345 * 100) % = 34.5 %

Hope this helps
