Answer:

Least number of pennies is 840


Step-by-step explanation:

To get the least number of pennies, we need to figure out the LCM of 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, & 8.


We do prime factorization of each number and take each unique digit the most number of times it occurs in any one of them.


3 is 3

4 is 2*2

5 is 5

6 is 3*2

7 is 7

8 is 2*2*2


There are 2s, 3s, 5s, and 7s. Two occurs three times (highest) in 8, so we take 2 three times, 3,4,5,&7 all occur highest 1 time. So we take them one.


So LCM = 2*2*2*3*5*7 = 840

A rectangle is 8 feet long.its width is represented by Seven plus x feet what expression
babunello [35]
Hi there! The answer is 56 + 8x square feet

The length of a rectangle is 8 feet.
The width of that rectangle is 7 + x feet.

We can find the area of the rectangle by using the formula A = L x W
(Area = Length x Width)

Filling in this formula gives us:
A = 8 (7 + x) = 56 + 8x square feet
