Answer: 36

Step-by-step explanation: To find the least common multiple or lcm of 12 and 18, begin by listing the first few multiples of each number.

Multiples of 12

1 × 12 = 12

2 × 12 = 24

3 × 12 = 36

Notice that we skipped 0 × 12 in our list of multiples. That's because 0 × 6 is 0 and our least common multiple can not be 0.

When listing the multiples of 18, it's a good idea to keep an eye on the list of multiples for 12 so that we will notice when we find a least common multiple.

Multiples of 18

1 × 18 = 18 ← is not multiple of 12

2 × 18 = 36 ← is a multiple of 12

Notice that we can stop here because all other multiples that we find will be greater 36. So the least common multiple of 12 and 18 is 36.

Barry got a samll sandwich for lunch and ate 1/2 of his sandwich. Jonah got a large sandwich and ate 1/2 of his sandwich. Did Jo

No, they did not eat the same amount. Barry ate less because his sandwich was smaller, so there would be a smaller half. Jonah ate more because his sandwich was bigger, so he would have eaten a bigger half.

On a coordinate grid, AB has an end point B at (24, 16). The midpoint of AB is P(4, -3). What is the y-coordinate of Point A?

inysia [295]

The y-coordinate of point A is -22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

B = (24,16)

P = (4,-3)

The formula for mid-point of AB will be given by:

$P = (\frac{x_A+x_B}{2} , \frac{y_A+y_B}{2})$

As we already know the y-coordinate of midpoint

We can put the formula's y coordinate equal to the given value

$\frac{y_A+y_B}{2} = -3\\\frac{y_A + 16}{2 } = -3\\y_A+16 = -3 * 2\\y_A +16 = -6\\y_A = -6-16\\y_A = -22$

Hence,

The y-coordinate of point A is -22
