Two integers a and b, have a product of 24. What's the least they can be?

1 answer:

8 0

Well think, 24= 8x4 right? So, 2 can go into 24 which=12 so lets divide.
24÷2= 12
12÷2=6
6÷2=3
3 is the smallest we can get so can 3 go into 24? yes, so 8 times
so the smallest they can be are 8*3 and you cant reduce 8 anymore because of the three once one gets the smallest they both do. hope this helped.

Pie

Average speed = $\frac{Total Distance}{Total Time}$

Ishan's Speed uphill = 10mph

Time taken = 18 minutes = 18/60 = 3/10 hours

Now distance = rate × time

Distance traveled by Ishaan up hill = 10 × 3/10 = 3 miles

Now returning back home

Distance = 3 miles

Rate = 30 mph

So time taken = distance/ rate = 3/30= 1/10 hours = 1/10 ×60 = 6 minutes.

Now total distance traveled = 3 + 3 = 6 miles

Total time taken = 18 + 6 = 24 minutes = 24/60 = 2/5 hours

Average speed

= $\frac{6}{0.4}$

= 15 mph

Ishaan's average speed for the entire trip from home to the gift store and back is 15mph

Which set of rectangular coordinates describes the same location as the polar coordinates (6sqrt 2, 3pi/4)

Sonja [21]

Polar coordinates=<span>(6sqrt 2, 3pi/4)=(r, theta)→r=6 sqrt 2, theta=3pi/4
Rectangular coordinates=(x,y)=?

x=r cos theta=(6 sqrt 2) cos(3pi/4)=(6 sqrt 2)(-sqrt 2 / 2)
x=-3 (sqrt 2)^2=-3(2)→x=-6

y=r sin theta=(6 sqrt 2) sin (3pi/4)=(6 sqrt 2)(sqrt 2 / 2)
y=3 (sqrt 2)^2=3(2)→y=6

Rectangular coordinates of the point = (x,y) =(-6,6)

Answer: Option a. (-6,6) </span>
