Answer:
12
Step-by-step explanation:
The least common multiple of {6,8,12} is 24. This can be intuitively figured by noting that any multiple of 12 is a multiple of 6 and that 12 is 1.5x larger than 8. That means we only have so multiple 12 by 2 and 8 by 3 for them to be equal. The GCF of {20,42,72} is 2 as the prime factorization of 20 is 2x2x5 and 42 is 2x3x7. That means even without having to check 72 (which is clearly even so 2 is a factor), we know that 2 is the greatest common factor that they could share. So X/Y = 24/2 = 12

Answer:
about 1.43 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use your original equation to find how many minutes it takes to fill up the 309 gallon hot tub.
3.59x=309
x= how many minutes it takes to fill up a certain gallon.
Divide both sides by 3.59 to isolate x and you get x=86.0724234.
That is how many minutes it takes.
The question asks for how many hours, so that divide 86.0724234 by 60 since there are 60 minutes in an hour, and you get 1.43454039 or 1.43 hours.
There is also another way which is called dimensional analysis, but I don't know if you guys learned that yet.
Hope my answer helps!
