Answer:

45 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Find LCM(15,9). First factor both numbers:

15=3\cdot 5\\ \\9=3\cdot 3

So,

LCM(15,9)=3\cdot 5\cdot 3=45

This means that the length of the side of the smallest square area that can be covered by these tiles is 45 cm.

Practically, you can put 3 tiles in a row (to make 3 lenghts of 15 cm each that add up to 45 cm) and put such 5 rows (to make 5 lengths of 9 cm that add up to 45 cm).

Suppose that 8% of the students in your school are Swedish. If you stop students at random in the hall way and ask whether they'
const2013 [10]
Given that 8% of the students are Swedish, this means that 100 - 8 = 92% are not Swedish.

Let S represent the event that a student is Swedish and N represent the event that a student is not a Swedish.

Then, the probability that a student chosen at random is a Swedish, P(S), = 8% = 0.08
The probability that a student chosen at random is not a Swedish, P(N), = 92% = 0.92

That the first Swedish person found was on the third trial means that the first and second trial produced a non-Swedish.

Therefore, the required probability = 0.92 x 0.92 x 0.08 = 0.068 to three decimal places.

mike makes a commission of 10% on each tv set sold at store. Each tv costs $120. how much money will he make as commission if st
Leni [432]

The answer is he will make $300 commission for 25 TV sets sold.  The first thing you need to do is find out how much commission he makes on each TV. So we take $120 and divide by 10% and that gives us $12.  So $12 is the amount of commission per TV. Then we just need to multiply the $12 by 25 TV sets. That gives us the answer of $300 commission total.

A second way to solve this problem is by taking the $120 and multiplying that by the 25 TV sets.  That gives you $3,000 total for the 25 TV sets.  Then you just divide the 10% commission Mike will make.  That also gives you the answer of $300 commission.

The sum of three numbers is -44.84. One of the numbers is 26.6. The other two numbers are equal to each other. What is the value
docker41 [41]
A+b+c=-44.84

a=26.6
b=c

26.6+b+b=-44.84

2b=-44.84-26.6

b=-35.72


So, a=26.6, b=-35.72, c=-35.72
