Answer:
<em>It will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Least Common Multiple (LCM)</u>
Three events keep James from sleeping: his clock ticking every 20 seconds, a tap dripping every 15 seconds, and his dog snoring every 27 seconds.
All three events happened together at midnight. They will happen together again the first time the numbers 20, 15, and 27 have a common multiple. This is the LCM.
List the prime factors of each number:
20: 2,2,5
15: 3,5
27: 3,3,3
Now multiply all the factors the maximum number of times they appear:
LCM=2*2*3*3*3*5=540
(a) All the events will happen together again after 540 minutes.
(b) Since 540 minutes = 9 hours, this event won't happen again until 9 am. Thus, it will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.
The computation shows that the thickness of the beam is 3.75 inches.
<h3>How to calculate the values?</h3>
11. The thickness of the beam will be:
= 3/4 inch × 5
= 3.75 inches.
12. The length of the board will be:
= 7 5/8 × 5
= 38.125 inches.
13. The total height of the stairs will be:
= 8 3/16 × 13
= 106.4375 inches.
14. The height of the stack will be:
= 55 × 3/8in
= 20.625 inches.
15. The length of the board will be:
= 3/4 × 86 1/4
= 64.6875 inches.
16. The number of hours that it'll take to replace the trim will be:
= 37 1/2 × 1/4
= 9.375 hours.
17. The height of the will required will be:
= 22 × 5/12
= 9.167 feet
18. The inches removed from the wood will be:
= 1/16 × 7
= 0.4375 inches.
19. The shortest finish stock will be:
= 3/16 × 15
= 2.8125 feet.
20. The total amount of board wasted will be:
= 3/16 × 11
= 2.0625 inches.
21. The total rise in the staircase will be:
= 22 × 7 3/8
= 162.25 inches.

Answer:
<em>Not true. Actually, 1 2/3 equals 5/3.</em>
Answer:
Dimensions of the rug = 13 ft × 26 ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Dimensions of the room = 21 ft × 34 ft
Area of the room = 21 × 34 = 714 ft²
Cynthia wants to leave a uniform strip of floor around the rug.
Let the width of the rug = x ft
Then the dimensions of the rug will be = (21- 2x)ft × (34 - 2x)ft
Area of the rug = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x) square feet
338 = (21 - 2x)×(34 - 2x)
338 = 714 - 68x - 42x + 4x²
4x² - 110x + 714 - 338 = 0
4x² - 110x + 376 = 0
2x² - 55x + 188 = 0
2x² - 47x - 8x + 188 = 0
x(2x - 47) - 8(x - 47) = 0
(x - 4)(2x - 47) = 0
x = 4, 
For x = 23.5 area of the rug will be negative.
Therefore, x = 4 ft will be the width of the rug.
Dimensions of the rug will be 13 ft × 26 ft.
