\mathrm{gcd}(a,b)=9\implies9\mid a\text{ and }9\mid b\implies9\mid a+b

which means there is some integer k for which a+b=9k.


Because 9\mid a and 9\mid b, there are integers n_1,n_2 such that a=9n_1 and b=9n_2, and


\mathrm{lcm}(a,b)=\mathrm{lcm}(9n_1,9n_2)=9\mathrm{lcm}(n_1,n_2)=378\implies\mathrm{lcm}(n_1,n_2)=42

We have 42=2\cdot3\cdot7, which means there are four possible choices of n_1,n_2:

1, 42
2, 21
3, 14
6, 7

which is to say there are also four corresponding choices for a,b:

9, 378
18, 189
27, 126
54, 63

whose sums are:

387
207
153
117

So the least possible value of a+b is 117.

Max went to the store and bought 22 apples. He bought twice as many red apples as he did green, and he bought one-third many yel
katrin [286]

Let the number of green apples bought be x


Green apples = x

Red apples = 2x

Yellow apples = 1/3 (2x) = 2/3 x


Total = 22 apples

x + 2x + 2/3 x = 22

11/3 x = 22

11x = 66

x = 6


Green apples = x = 6

Red apples = 2x = 2(6) = 12

Yellow apples = 2/3 (2x) = 2/3 (6) = 4


Answer: Green = 6, Red = 12, Yellow = 4

A family wants to build a rectangular garden on one side of a barn. If 600 feet of fencing is available to use, then what is the
vovangra [49]

Answer: (A) A=300l-l^{2}

               (B) Length varies between 1 and 150

               (C) Largest area is 22500ft²

Step-by-step explanation: Suppose length is l and width is w.

The rectangular garden has perimeter of 600ft, which is mathematically represented as

2l+2w=600

Area of a rectangle is calculated as

A=lw

Now, we have a system of equations:

2l+2w=600

A=lw

Isolate w, so we have l:

2w=600-2l

w = 300 - l

Substitute in the area equation:

A = l(300 - l)

A = 300l - l²

(A) <u>Function of area in terms of length is given by </u><u>A = 300l - l²</u>

(B) The practical domain for this function is values between 1 and 150.

(C) For the largest area, we need to determine the largest garden possible. For that, we take first derivative of the function:

A' = 300 - 2l

Find the values of l when A'=0:

300 - 2l = 0

2l = 300

l = 150

Replace l in the equation:

w = 300 - 150

w = 150

Now, calculate the largest area:

A = 150*150

A = 22500

<u>The largest area the fence can enclose is </u><u>22500ft².</u>

Lin's bike travels 100​ meters when her wheels rotate 55​ times. What is the circumference of her wheels? Round your answer to t
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

Using formula to calculate the circumference of wheel:

 

where

D is the distance bike travel

n is the number of times rotation

C is the circumference of the wheel

As per the statement:

Lin’s bike travels 100 meters when her wheels rotate 55 times.

here, n = 55 rotation and D = 100 meter.

then by definition:

meter

Therefore, the circumference of her wheel is, 1 9/11
