Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
We will use following steps to measure exactly 4 gallons of water with the help of 5 gallons and 3 gallons empty jugs.
1). Fill 3 gallons jug completely.
2). Pour this 3 gallons of water into 5 gallons jug. Now we have 3 gallons of water in 5 gallons jug and 3 gallons jug empty.
We can add 2 gallons of water in the empty space of 5 gallons jug more.
3). Fill the 3 gallons jug with the water again.
4). Pour this water into 5 gallons jug which can hold 2 gallons of water more.
Now we have 5 gallons of jug filled fully and 1 gallon water remaining in the 3 gallons jug.
5). Empty the 5 gallons jug completely.
6). Pour the remaining 1 gallon of remaining water in 3 gallons jug into 5 gallons jug.
7). Fill the 3 gallons jug completely and pour it into 5 gallon jug.
8). Finally we have 4 gallons of water in the 5 gallons jug.
The pair of numbers that would have 20 as their lcm is 4 and 5
Answer:
15, 5, 5/3, 5/9, 5/27
Step-by-step explanation:
Recall, that the general form of a geometric series is
a, ar, ar², ar³, .........
where a is the first term and r is the ratio
It is given that the first time is 15, hence a = 15
also given that ratio is 1/3
hence the first 5 terms are:
15, (15)(1/3), (15)(1/3)^2, (15)(1/3)^3, (15)(1/3)^4
simplifying each term gives
15, 5, 5/3, 5/9, 5/27
