We know:

$LCM(a,\ b)=\dfrac{ab}{GCF(a,\ b)}$

We have

$GCF(a,\ b)=2,\ LCM(a,\ b)=20,\ a\leq12,\ b\leq12$

Substitute:

$20=\dfrac{ab}{2}\qquad|\cdot2\\\\ab=40$

$40=1\cdot40=2\cdot20=4\cdot10=5\cdot8$

Only 4 and 10 meet the requirements of the question.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

40 and 1 NOT, because 40 > 12

20 and 2 NOT, because 20 > 12

5 and 8 NOT because GCF(5, 8) = 1

one month Miguel rented 5 movies and 3 video games for a total of $27. The next month he ordered 2 movies and 6 video games for

34kurt

Answer:

The price of each movie is $2.25

The price of each video games is $5.41

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

Miguel rented 5 movies and 3 video games for a total cost = $27

Next day Miguel rented 2 movies and 6 video games for a total cost = $36

Let The cost of each movie = $m

And The cost of each video game = $v

Now, According to question

5 m + 3 v = 27 .....1

2 m + 6 v = 36 ...........2

Now, solving the equation

2 × (5 m + 3 v) - (2 m + 6 v) = 2 × 27 - 36

Or, 10 m + 6 v - 2 m - 6 v = 54 - 36

Or, (10 m - 2 m) + (6 v - 6 v) = 18

Or, 8 m + 0 = 18

∴ m = $\dfrac{18}{8}$ = $\dfrac{9}{4}$

i.e m = $2.25

So, The price of each movie = m = $2.25

Again, put the value of m into eq 2

So, 2 × 2.25 + 6 v = 36

Or, 4.5 + 6 v = 36

Or, 6 v = 36 - 4.5

Or, 6 v = $32.5

∴ v = $\dfrac{32.5}{6}$

i.e v = $5.41

So, The price of each video games = v = $5.41

Hence, The price of each movie is $2.25 and

The price of each video games is $5.41 Answer

A runner ran at a steady rate, stopped to retie their shoes, and then ran at a steady rate again, this time slower than they ran

daser333 [38]

The First Graph represents the situation.
The runner goes a lot of distance in a short amount of time (Demonstrated by the steep incline of the first portion). When the runner is tying their shoe, the distance remains the same, thus eliminating the second graph and the last graph because the last graph doesn't show the beginning of the problem. Finally, we know that the runner is slower after tying their shoe, this means the incline of the line would be far less as steep (Meaning the slope would be smaller). The only graph that depicts all of these, is the first one.

I Hope this Helps!
