Answer: 30
Explanation: To find the least common multiple of <em>lcm</em> of 5 and 6, we begin by listing the first few multiples of each number.
<em><u>Multiples of 5</u></em>
1 x 5 = 5
2 x 5 = 10
3 x 5 = 15
4 x 5 = 20
5 x 5 = 25
6 x 5 = 30
Notice that we skipped 0 x 6 in our list of multiples. That's because 0 x 6 is 0 and our least common multiple can't be 0.
Next we list the multiples of 6. When we list the multiples of 6, it's a good idea to keep an eye on the list of multiples for 6 so that we know when we have found a least common multiple.
<u><em>Multiples of 6</em></u>
1 x 6 = 6
2 x 6 = 12
3 x 6 = 18
4 x 6 = 24
5 x 6 = 30
Notice that 30 appears in both lists so we can stop here.
This means that the least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30.
What language are you writing this in? C? Javascript? Java? Are you allow to have parameters?
The general idea should be the same. Since 1 dollar = 100 pennies, we should write something like...
Java:
public static double numberofpennies(double dollars, double penny) {
double sum = 0;
// The amount of pennies that dollar represents
double converted = dollars * 100.0;
sum = converted + penny;
return sum;
}
Note: You should probably place this question under the category computer and technology instead of math. Also, this is just an example of what you could possibly write. What parameters you are allowed to use, what type (double? int? etc?) of pennies are you allowed to return, etc. depends on how you write it.
Hello!
The equation, y = mx + b is slope-intercept form. In this equation, m is the slope, and b is the y-intercept.
If the baby was exactly 8 pounds when it was born, then the y-intercept is (0, 8) because at zero months, the baby was eight pounds. To find the rate of change, we can use the the y-intercept (0, 8), and the weight of the baby at four months, which is (4, 8 + 3) → (4, 11).
Since we have two points, we can use the slope formula 
to find the rate of change.
.
The rate of change is 3/4.
Therefore, the equation that describes the baby's weight is y = 3/4x + 8.
