Answer:
The third number is 180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the third number be 9x where x is an integer.
48 = 2*2*2*2*3
264 = 2*2*2*3*11
9x = 3*3*x
2*2*2*2*3*3*11*x = 7920y where y is an integer
1584x = 7920y
so x = 7920y / 1584= 5y.
Now the GCD is 12 so x must have 4 as one of its factors.
Also x is a multiple of 5 so it could be 20 then y would be 4.
If x = 20 then the third number is 9*20 = 180.
This checks out OK.
Your answer is 8,000 minus 6 & 4
Step-by-step explanation:
2,6,18,54 because they have a common ratio of 3
Where's the equation that contains "z"?
3 3/8 · 4 1/3
To make this easier to solve, let's change the mixed numbers into improper fractions. This is done by multiplying the denominator (8) by the whole number (3) and then adding that to the numerator (3), keeping the denominator the same. Do the same thing with the second fraction.
27/8 × 13/3
Now you can multiply.
(27 × 13)/(8 × 3)
351/24
Now think of how many times 24 can go into 351. You can find this out by plugging it into a calculator. You should get 14.625. Since we need a whole number though, round down to 14.
14 × 24 = 336
This means that there will be 15 left over.
So far the fraction looks like this:
14 15/24
The last thing you need to do is simplify. A number that can go into both 15 and 24 is 3, so divide them by that.
14 5/8
The answer is
D. 14 5/8
