Answer:

2400 people

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of people who had a swimming pool in the population of 10,000,

Thus, the ratio of people who had swimming pool to the total population = \frac{x}{10000}

Since, out of 250 people 60 had swimming pool,

So, the ratio of the people who had swimming pool to the total population = \frac{60}{250}

\because \frac{x}{10000}=\frac{60}{250}

\implies 250x=600000

\implies x=\frac{600000}{250}=2400

Hence, 2400 people in the city might one expect to have a swimming pool.

First option is correct.

What is the least positive integer divisible by the numbers 2, 4, and 7?
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Least positive integer divisible by the numbers 2, 4, and 7 is  28

Step-by-step explanation:

We can find the least positive integer divisible by the numbers 2, 4, and 7 by taking the LCM

First lets List all prime factors for each number.

Prime Factorization of 2

2 is prime  =>  2^1

Prime Factorization of 4 is:

2 x 2  =>  2^2

Prime Factorization of 7 is:

7 is prime  => 7^1

For each prime factor, find where it occurs most often as a factor and write it that many times in a new list.

The new superset list is

2, 2, 7

Multiply these factors together to find the LCM.

LCM = 2 x 2 x 7 = 28
