since
6 = 2 * 3 <--- two factors
8 = 2 * 2 * 2 <--- three factors
and since the "2" is there on each, then we can just use that instance of it once.
so instead of using 2 * 3 * 2 * 2 * 2, we'll use 2 * 3 * 2 * 2, and that is our LCD.
2 * 3 * 2 * 2 = 24.
Answer:
x=46
Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:
256 cups
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the number of 8-ounce cups that each of the cooler of water will fill.
This is obviously a conversion type of question. We proceed as follows;
She buys 80 gallons to distribute in 5 coolers, this means each cooler will contain 80/5 = 16 gallons each of water.
Now let’s get the equivalent of this in ounce.
Mathematically, 1 gallon contains 128 ounces.
Since one cooler contains 16 gallons, this means each cooler will contain 16 * 128 = 2,048 ounces of water
Now, we know each cooler of water is to fill a series of 8- ounce cups. We now need to calculate the number of 8-ounce cups that will be filled by the 2,048 ounces cooler.
Mathematically, this is 2,048/8 = 256 cups
Answer:
B. The company hires 10 employees every year.
Step-by-step explanation:
One way to look at this is to look at the units on the number 10. Working strictly with units, we get ...
f(x) = 10x . . . . . . f(x) is employees, x is years
employees = 10·years
Dividing by years, we find the meaning of "10":
employees/year = 10
The division symbol (/) is read as "per", so this means the number 10 in the equation is the number of employees per year that are hired.
10 employees are hired every year.
