Answer:

a. 55 hours

b. 1.9 degrees C

Step-by-step explanation:

This means for each hour the temperature drops 0.08. This is the expression 0.08x where x is number of hours.

a.) If the temperature has dropped 4.4, then 4.4 = 0.08x. Solving for x will give the number of hours it takes to drop 4.4.

4.4 = 0.08x

4.4 / 0.08 = x

55 = x

b.) If the temperature after 55 hours and dropping 4.4 is -2.5, then the temperature at the start would be -2.5 + 4.4 = 1.9. The temperature at noon was 1.9 degrees celsius.

Couldn't you use the law of cosines to find one angle and use the law of sines to find the rest

steposvetlana [31]

Correct. In the case where you are given enough information to use the law of cosines you could in fact then use the law of sines afterwards to find your remaining angle. That being said beware of solutions that don't make a feasible triangle (if you were using the law of cosines you only have one angle, so that means whatever your second angle is that you found using the law of sines can't make your sum go over 180, because you still need some angle left for the last angle).

A notebook company makes notebooks with covers in 2 different colors. A school district ordered 301 notebooks in each color. How

Fantom [35]

Answer is 602 because we just take 301 times 2 because there is only two types of book in company and 301 book are ordered in each type so we just take 2 times 301

If the Greatest Common Factor of L and M is 6, write the expression for the Least Common Multiple of these numbers.

Serga [27]

Answer:

$\frac{(L x M)}{6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The greatest common factor is the greatest number that will divide two values. We have two values L and M. Each has numbers which multiply together to give the number. The highest value or most in common they share is 6. This is the GCF.

The least common multiple is the smallest positive number which is a multiple of the two. This means both L and M divide into it evenly.

We know L x M is a multiple because L and M will be factors of it. But we don't know its the least.

As an example if L= 42 and M = 60, they have GCF 6. We can multiply them to find a multiple 42 x 60 = 2520 but we don't know this is the smallest or least multiple we can find. If we divide by the GCF, 2520/6=420. Interestingly, 42 x 10 =420 and 60 x 7 =420. This means 420 is the least common multiple.

We can multiply (L x M) and then divide by the GCF of L & M to find the least common multiple.

$\frac{(L x M)}{6}$
