Remember when you learning about the "Least Common
Multiple" and you wondered when in the world you would
ever need to use it ?
Well, here you are ! Hello !
The next time they will cross the starting line together is the
LCM (Least Common Multiple) of 30 and 40 .
Do you remember how to find it ?
Here's one easy way:
Count by 30s until you come to a number that's divisible by 40 .
Laura's first lap. . . . . . . . 30 seconds . . . not divisible by 40
Laura's two laps . . . . . . . 60 seconds . . . not divisible by 40
Laura's three laps. . . . . . 90 seconds . . . not divisible by 40
Laura's four laps. . . . . . 120 seconds . . . divisible by 40
After 120 seconds, Laura has completed four laps,
Shelby has completed only three laps.
4 cups equals to 16 cups becuase 1 quart equals 4 cups
Answer:
Difference = 250 students
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the total number of students be x.
Given the following data;
% driving = 30%
% riding = 60%
% walking = 10%
Number of students driving = 375
First of all, we would determine the total number of students.
Total = 30/100 * x = 375
0.3x = 375
Total, x = 375/0.3
Total, x = 1250 students.
Next, we determine the number of students walking;
Walking = 10/100 * 1250
Walking = 12500/100
Walking = 125 students
Finally, we would determine many more students drive to school than walk to school;
Difference = 375 - 125
Difference = 250 students
