What's the highest common multiple of 16 and 24

2 answers:

The highest common multiple??? That would be infinity...

Highest common factor? That would be the product of shared primes of the numbers prime factorization...

16=2*2*2*2, 24=2*2*2*3 so the product of shared primes is 2^3=8

So 8 would be the greatest common factor

Least common multiple?

That would be the product of the highest occurring primes in their prime factorization...

16=2*2*2*2, 24=2*2*2*3 so the product of highest occurring primes is:

2*2*2*2*3=48

So 48 would be the least common multiple....

The "highest common multiple" would be 48n where n would approach infinity so it would be +oo

A trapezoid has an area of 42 square miles. One base is 4 miles long. The height measures 6 miles. What is the length of the oth

loris [4]

The length of other base of trapezoid is 10 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for area of trapezoid is:

$A=\frac{h}{2}(b_1+b_2)$

We know that

A = 42 square miles

b_1 = 4 miles

h = 6 miles

Putting the values

$42=\frac{6}{2}(4+b_2)\\42=3(4+b_2)\\42=12+3b_2\\Subtracting\ 12\ from\ both\ sides\\42-12=12+3b_2-12\\3b_2=30\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 3\\\frac{3b_2}{3}=\frac{30}{3}\\b_2=10\ miles$

The length of other base of trapezoid is 10 miles

Mr. duc asked to set up 450 chairs in a large hall. Perry puts 20 chairs in each row. He has already set up 15 rows of chairs

Each row consists of 20 chairs

He already set up 15 rows

So number of chairs he already set up = chairs in each row * number of rows

20 * 15 = 300

So , he already set up 300 chairs

Total chairs to set up is 450

Remaining chairs to set up = 450 - 300 = 150

So, 150 more chairs to set up

Which equation represents the line that is parallel to

GrogVix [38]

y=-5x-44

Step-by-step explanation:

5x+y=13 passes through (15,31)

rearrange the equation to y=mx+c

5x+y=13

y=-5x+13

substitute the points (15,31)

y=5x+c

31=5(15)+c

31=75+c

-44=c

y=-5x-44

Can be written as 5x+y=-44
