Answer: the answer is 7.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The <u>Least Common Multiple</u> (LCM) of a group of numbers is the smallest number that is a multiple of all the numbers.
we have
15,18 and 25
Decompose the numbers in prime factors
Multiply common and uncommon numbers with their greatest exponent
so
The LCM is equal to

Set up two equations:
1st: P (for Price family) + J (for Jenkins family) = 45 hours
2nd: 20P + 35J = 1200 liters
Rewrite the first equation as P = 45 – J
Replace P in the second equation:
20(45-J) + 35J = 1200
Simplify:
900 -20J + 35J = 1200
900 +15J = 1200
Subtract 900 from both sides:
15J = 300
Divide both sides by 15:
J = 300/15
J = 20
Jenkins used theirs for 20 hours
Price used theirs for 45-20 = 25 hours.
The equation for a line is y=mx+b. where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.
The slope of 17 is provided. This means m=17. The point (0,0) tells you the y intercept is 0. This means b=0
Plugging these into the equation and simplifying:
y=17x+0
y=17x
Hope this helps :)
