Answer:
60 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
We solve this question using Lowest Common Factor method
Find and list multiples of each number of minutes( 12 and 10 minutes) until the first common multiple is found. This is the lowest common multiple.
Multiples of 10:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80
Multiples of 12:
12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84
Therefore,
LCM(10, 12) = 60
The number if minutes until they both drip again is 60 minutes
Each quilt takes 3 yards of material so it would be 36
All of these sets meet the requirements of the triangle inequality. The sum of any two numbers in the set is greater than the third one. (You really only need to check that the sum of the smallest two is greater than the largest.)
It can help to resolve the numbers that are only indicated as to value.
√13 ≈ 3.606
2√10 ≈ 6.325
_____
Your comparisons can be ...
2 + 3 = 5 > 3.606 . . . is a triangle
5 + 5 = 10 > 6.325 . . . . . . is a triangle
5 + 12 = 17 > 15 . . . . . . . . is a triangle
In quadratic equations,
a + b = -B
ab = C
where a and b are the roots, B is the second term, and C is the constant.
Substituting,
a + b = -12
ab = 35
The values of a and b from the equation is -7 and -5. Thus, the lesser root is -7.
