Answer:

Kay's husband drove at a speed of 50 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a problem of simple motion.

First of all we must calculate how far Kay traveled to her job, and then estimate the speed with which her husband traveled later.

d=vt

v=45 mph

t= 20 minutes/60 min/hour = 0.333 h (to be consistent with the units)

d= 45mph*0.333h= 15 miles

If Kay took 20 minutes to get to work and her husband left home two minutes after her and they both arrived at the same time, it means he took 18 minutes to travel the same distance.

To calculate the speed with which Kate's husband made the tour, we will use the same initial formula and isolate the value of "V"

d=vt; so

v=\frac{d}{t}

d= 15 miles

t= 18 minutes/60 min/hour = 0.30 h  (to be consistent with the units)

v=\frac{d}{t}=\frac{15 miles}{0.3 h}=50mph

Kay's husband drove at a speed of 50 mph

I have a LCM and GCF homework can someone help i dont understand??
Sindrei [870]
Alright,

So LCM stands for "least common multiple"
While GCF is "greatest common factor"

Let's look at your number 1 (3&6)

3,6,9,12
6,12,18,24

Both times table has 6 in them making 6 the LCM

To find the GCF we need to know what can go into 3 equally. Since 3 is prime the greatest factor for 3 is....3. 6 goes into 3 two times so 3 is the GCF.

LCM:6
GCF:3

Lets do number 10 (40&4)

For LCM you see whats the smallest number that is in both times tables

4,8,12,16,20,24,28.......40
40,80, 160....

40 is the LCM because 40 is what's the smallest number between the two

GCF?

4 times 1 equals 4. Nothing bigger than 4 can make 4 (if your multiplying). That makes 4 automatically the GCF. :)
