How can you write the prime factorization and find the greatest common factor and least common multiple of two numbers?

One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number. Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.

If a two story home has a ground floor of 25*30 feet and second floor of 20*30 feet, what is the total square footage of the hom

Archy [21]

Answer: 1350 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The total square footage of the home will be equal to the sum of the areas of each floor.

We know that the ground floor is 25 ft by 30ft, which can be thought of as a rectangle with a length of 25ft and a width of 30 ft.

We know that te area of a rectangle of width W and length L is:

A = L*W

then the area of the ground floor is:

A = 25ft*30ft = 750 ft^2

And the second floor is 20ft by 30ft, then using the same approach as above, the area of the second floor will be:

A = 20ft*30ft = 600ft^2

Then the total square footage of the home is:

SF = 750ft^2 + 600ft^2 = 1350 ft^2

torisob [31]

Refer to the diagram shown below.

The exit for Freestone is built midway between Roseville and Edgewood,
therefore the distance from O to the new exit is
(1/2)*(33+55) = 44 mi.

Let x = distance from Midtown to the new exit.
Because the distance from O to the new exit is equal to (x + 17), therefore
x + 17 = 44
x = 44 - 17 = 27 mi.

Answer:
When the new exit is built, the distance from the exit for Midtown to the exit for Freestone will be 27 miles.
