Find the least common multiple or LCM

1 answer:

8 0

ANSWER:

Mrs. Cook should buy 2 packages of candy.

This is as:

LCM = 72

2 packages of candy = 36 × 2 = 72 pieces

72 ÷ 24 = 3

Therefore, as 72 divided by 24 results in a whole number without any left over, the answer must be 2 packages.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower

Step-by-step explanation:

An year has 365 days.

Each day has 24 hours.

Each hour has 60 minutes.

Minutes in an year:

365*24*60 = 525600

Persoid:

$1 + \frac{1}{5} = 1 + 0.2 = 1.2$

One each 1.2 minutes. How many during an year?

1 meteor - 1.2 minutes.

x meteors - 525600 minutes.

$1.2x = 525600$

$x = \frac{525600}{1.2}$

$x = 438000$

438,000 meteors fell during the Persoid shower.

Leonid:

$4 + \frac{2}{3} = 4.67$

One each 4.67 minutes. How many during an year.

1 meteor - 4.67 minutes.

x meteors - 525600 minutes.

$4.67x = 525600$

$x = \frac{525600}{4.67}$

$x = 112548$

112,548 meteors fell during the Leonid Shower.

How many more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower?

438,000 - 112,548 = 325,452

325,452 more meteors fell during the Perseid meteor shower
