Answer: The weight of the iceberg at the end of the day will be 449,100 lbs.

Step-by-step explanation: The question is solved by first calculating what the loss of weight is during the day. The question indicates that it will lose .2%. In order to calculate the loss you need to multiply 450,000 x .002, which equals 900. Next, we subtract the weight loss from the original weight to determine the end of day weight. 450,000 - 900 = 449,100 lbs.

Answer: 449,100 lb.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The weight of iceberg = 450,000 lb

The percentage of weight iceberg loses during the day = 0.2%=0.002

Now, the decrease in weight of iceberg at the end of the day = $0.002\times 450000=900\ lb$

Therefore, the new weight of iceberg at the end of the day = $450000-900=449,100\ lb$

Mel has to put the greatest number of

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Mel should use the least common multiple to solve the problem

Solution:

Given, Mel has to put the greatest number of bolts and nuts in each box so each box has the same number of bolts and the same number of nuts.

We have to find that should Mel use the greatest common factor or the least common multiple to solve the problem?

He should use least common multiple.

Let us see an example, suppose 12 bolts and nuts are to be fit in 6 boxes.

Then, if we took H.C.F of 12 and 6, it is 6, which means 6 bolts and nuts in each box, but, after filling 2 boxes with 6 bolts and nuts, there will be nothing left, which is wrong as remaining boxes are empty.

So the remaining method to choose is L.C.M.

Hence, he should use L.C.M method.
