Answer:

The least number of plates and cups she can buy is 24

She will buy 3 packs of plates

She will buy 2 packs of cup

Step-by-step explanation:

Plates = 8 per pack

Cups = 12 per pack

Find the Lowest common multiple of 8 and 12

8 = 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80

12 = 24, 36, 48, 60, 72

What is the least number of plates and cups she can buy?

The Lowest common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24

The least number of plates and cups she can buy is 24

How many packs of plates?

Packs of plates = 24 plates / 8 per pack

= 3 packs

She will buy 3 packs of plates

How many packs of cups?

Packs of cups = 24 / 12 per pack

= 2 packs

She will buy 2 packs of cup

An auto license plate consists of 6 digits; the first three are any letter (from the 26 alphabets), and the last three are any n
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer: There are 17576000 ways to generate different license plates.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Numbers are given = 0 to 9 = 10 numbers

Number of letters = 26

We need to generate the license plate numbers.

Since there are repetition allowed.

We would use "Fundamental theorem of counting".

So, the number of different license numbers may be created as given as

26\times 26\times 26\times 10\times 10\times 10\\\\=26^3\times 10^3\\\\=17576\times 1000\\\\=17576000

Hence, there are 17576000 ways to generate different license plates.

How can you determine which of two lines will be steeper from
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]
Well on a table of data, if the y coordinates increase a lot over a short x distance then it will be steep.

In an equation, you would put it into y = mx + b form and whatever your m is will be your slope. If m is large, it will be steep.
