Answer:

60 days, Friday

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is solved using concept of LCM.

LCM is the least number which is the common multiple of given set of different number.

To find the LCM  we method of prime factors, the steps are given below

  • get all the all the prime factor of the given set of number
  • select all the prime factors   as many times they occur in given set of number
  • multiply together the numbers selected together to get LCM

________________________________________________

Given

frequency of visiting swimming pool by Shwetha = once in 12 days

factors of 12 = 2 * 2 * 3

frequency of visiting swimming pool by Vinnie = once in 4 days

factors of 2 = 2 * 2

frequency of visiting swimming pool by Olga = once in 10 days

factors of 10 = 2 * 5

minimum no of days after which they will be visiting together will be least common multiple of number of days after which they visit swimming pool individually.

Selecting the prime numbers with their highest occurrence

we have 2, 2, 3 ,5

multiplying them together we have

2 * 2 * 3* 5 = 60

therefore 60 is the LCM of 12, 4, 10

it means that Shwetha, Vinnie and Olga will visit swimming pool together once in 60 days

It is given that they visited on Monday  and now they will visit after 60 days again.

since in one week there are seven days, every eighth day will be monday

so we divide 60 days by 7 to see how many cycles of monday has passed.

60/7 = 8  4/7

It suggest that 8 weeks has passed and they will meet on 4 days after Monday  which will be Friday.

Thus they will meet meet at the swimming pool again in 60 days.

It will be Friday.

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that there are 8 candidates for student government: Hal, Mary, Ann, Frank, Beth, John, Emily, and Tom.

The three candidates that receive the highest number of votes become candidates for a runoff election.

i.e. 3 persons out of 8 to be selected for becoming candidates for a runoff election.

Since order does not matter we use combinations here

3 persons out of 8 can be done in 8C3 ways

= 56

no of 3-candidate combinations  possible are 56

which statement correctly compares two values? a)the value of the 7 in 37.596 is 1/10 the value of the7 in 26.74 b) the value of
Andrews [41]

The value of 7 in 26..74 is 0.7

The value of 7 in 37.596 is 7.

1/10 the value of 7 in 26.74 is 0.07 and 0.07 ≠ 7.

So, statement a) is incorrect.

1/100 the value of 7 in 26.74 is 0.007 and 0.007 ≠ 7.

So, statement c) is incorrect.

100 times the value of 7 in 26.74 is 70 and 70 ≠ 7.

So, statement d) is incorrect.

10 times the value of 7 in 26.74 is 7 and 7 = 7.

So, statement b) is correct and it correctly compares two values.

8x-19 = -12x+61 What is x?
olasank [31]

Answer:

x is 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one: Add 12x to both sides-

8x-19+12x=-12x+61+12x

20x-19=61

Step 2: add 19 to both sides

20x -19+19=61+19

20x=80

Step 3: divide both sides by 20

20x/20=80/20

x=4
