Answer:
<em>It will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Least Common Multiple (LCM)</u>
Three events keep James from sleeping: his clock ticking every 20 seconds, a tap dripping every 15 seconds, and his dog snoring every 27 seconds.
All three events happened together at midnight. They will happen together again the first time the numbers 20, 15, and 27 have a common multiple. This is the LCM.
List the prime factors of each number:
20: 2,2,5
15: 3,5
27: 3,3,3
Now multiply all the factors the maximum number of times they appear:
LCM=2*2*3*3*3*5=540
(a) All the events will happen together again after 540 minutes.
(b) Since 540 minutes = 9 hours, this event won't happen again until 9 am. Thus, it will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.

Answer:
The interest is $35 so it ends up costing her $70
Step-by-step explanation:
So if we think of a test tube, it looks sort of like a cylinder. This means that its cross-section would be a circle. To find out how many turns a piece of thread would make around the test tube, we need to find the circumference of the test tube, then divide the length of the string by the circumference.
Step 1) Find the circumference
C = pi x diameter
C = 3.14 x 3
C = 9.42
Step 2) Divide the length of the string by the circumference
90.42 / 9.42 = 9.5987
The string would make approximately 9.60 turns around the test tube.
Hope this helps!! :)
Answer:
z=3
Step-by-step explanation:
→32+76+24z=180[Sum of all sides of a triangle]
→108+24z=180
→24z=180-108
→z=72/24
→z=3
