Mel should use the least  common multiple to solve the problem

<u>Solution:</u>

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.

Can someone help me please I need the mode, median, range and the mean.?
Neko [114]

Answer:

First the mode.  Since 5 popped up the most, 5 is the mode.

Next is the median.  I crossed 1 dot from each side until it shows the last dot, and 5 was the last one.

After that the range.  9-2=7

Finally the worst, the mean... 2+2+3+3+3+4+5+5+5+5+5+6+6+6+8+9+9+9+9

=104/19=5.47

SO, Mode=5 Median=5 Range=7, and the mean is 5.47 (rounded nearest hundred)
