For this you need to find the lcm of 36 and 60 = 180
therefore :
Mel needs to buy 5 packets of cups


(36*5=180cups)
and 3 packets of plates (60*3=180 plates)

Answer:

3 packs of plates; 5 packs of cups

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to find the least common multiple of the two. (factor tree, birthday cake) (Strategies not shown) You should get 180.

Next we have to see how many times each number goes into 180.

60 times 3 is 180 plates. 36 times 5 is 180.

That's your answer. Hope this helps!

Answer:  3+\sqrt{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression shown in the picture:

\frac{7}{3-\sqrt{2} }

You need to use a process called "Ratinalization".

By definition, using Rationalization you can rewrite the expression in its simplest form so there is not Radicals in its denominator.

Then, in order to simplify the expression, you can follow the following steps:

<em>Step 1</em>. You need to multiply the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by  3+\sqrt{2}, which is the conjugate of the denominator  3-\sqrt{2}.

<em>Step 2</em>. Then you must apply the Distributive property in the numerator.

<em>Step 3</em>. You must apply the following property in the denominator:  (a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2

Therefore, applying the procedure shown above, you get:

=\frac{(7)(3+\sqrt{2})}{(3-\sqrt{2})(3+\sqrt{2})}=\frac{21+7\sqrt{2}}{3^2-(\sqrt{2})^2}=\frac{21+7\sqrt{2}}{9-2}=\frac{21+7\sqrt{2}}{7}

<em>Step 4</em>.  You can observe that the expression can be simplified even more. Since:

 \frac{a+b}{c}=\frac{a}{c}+\frac{b}{c}

You get:

\frac{21+7\sqrt{2}}{7}=\frac{21}{7}+\frac{7\sqrt{2}}{7}=3+\sqrt{2}

If $12000 is invested in an account in which the interest earned is continuously compounded at a rate of 2.5%
vladimir1956 [14]

Complete Question

If $12000 is invested in an account in which the interest earned is continuously compounded at a rate of 2.5% for 3 years

Answer:

$ 12,934.61

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Compound Interest Compounded continuously is given as:

A = Pe^rt

A = Amount after t years

r = Interest rate = 2.5%

t = Time after t years = 3

P = Principal = Initial amount invested = $12,000

First, convert R percent to r a decimal

r = R/100

r = 2.5%/100

r = 0.025 per year,

Then, solve our equation for A

A = Pe^rt

A = 12,000 × e^(0.025 × 3)

A = $ 12,934.61

The total amount from compound interest on an original principal of $12,000.00 at a rate of 2.5% per year compounded continuously over 3 years is $ 12,934.61.

If the difference of two numbers is 43 and the sum of the numbers is 13, what<br> are the numbers?
meriva

Answer:

Numbers are 28 and -15

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark first number X, and second number Y, then:

x-y=43

and

x+y=13

We get system of two equations. Solve it by add both them together:

x-y+x+y=43+13

2x=56

x=28 we get first number

x+y=13

28+y=13

y=13-28

y=-15

The sum of two numbers is 23. The difference of the numbers is 7.4. What are the two numbers?​
Brums [2.3K]
X+y=23
X-y=7.4

X+y=23
y=23-X

X-y=7.4
(23-y)-y=7.4
23-2y=7.4
-2y=-15.6
Y=7.8

X+y=23
X+7.8=23
X=15.2

Therefore the two numbers are 7.8 & 15.2
