Answer:
<em>It will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Least Common Multiple (LCM)</u>
Three events keep James from sleeping: his clock ticking every 20 seconds, a tap dripping every 15 seconds, and his dog snoring every 27 seconds.
All three events happened together at midnight. They will happen together again the first time the numbers 20, 15, and 27 have a common multiple. This is the LCM.
List the prime factors of each number:
20: 2,2,5
15: 3,5
27: 3,3,3
Now multiply all the factors the maximum number of times they appear:
LCM=2*2*3*3*3*5=540
(a) All the events will happen together again after 540 minutes.
(b) Since 540 minutes = 9 hours, this event won't happen again until 9 am. Thus, it will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.
Answer:
21 ft by 66 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
P = 2(L+W)............... Equation 1
Where P = Perimeter of the playing Field, L = Length of the playing Field, W = width of the playing Field.
If the Length of the Field is 45 ft longer than the width,
L = 45+W............ Equation 2
Substitute Equation 2 into equation 1
P = 2(45+W+W)
P = 90+4W............. Equation 3
Given: P = 174 ft.
Substitute into equation 3
174 = 90+4W
4W = 174-90
4W = 84
W = 84/4
W = 21 ft.
Substituting the value of W into equation 2
L = 45+21
L = 66 ft.
Hence the dimensions of the playing field is 21 ft by 66 ft
Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
6x3 = 18
4x3 = 12
18 - 12 = 6
16 / 4 = 4
6 - 4 = 2
Answer:
The prime factors are: 2 x 3 x 3 x 5 x 7
or also written as { 2, 3, 3, 5, 7 }
Written in exponential form: 2 x 3 × 3 x 5 ×1 x 7×1
