Two ships sail between New York and London. One makes the round trip in 12 days. The other takes 16 days. They both leave London

Mariana [72]

In order to find the answer to this question, you would need to find the Greatest Common Factor of 16 and 12 which would be 4 because 4 is the greatest amount that you can divide both 12 and 16 by. So the soonest both ships will leave together again will be in 4 days.

Answer:he would require 8.33 gallons of gas

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr Dow lives 16 miles from his workplace he drives to and from work five days a week. It means that the distance that he drives everyday to and from work would be

16 × 2 = 32 miles.

Then, the total distance that he drives in a week to and from work would be

32 × 5 = 160 miles

if his car gets 19.2 miles per gallon, it means that the amount of gas that he would use in one week, commuting to and from work would be

160/19.2 = 8.33 gallons
