Answer: 90 Earth years.

Step-by-step explanation:

Analizing the information provided in the exercise, you need to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the given numbers.

You can follow these steps:

1. You must descompose 6, 9, 15 and 18 into their prime factors:

6=2*3\\\\9=3*3=3^2\\\\15=3*5\\\\18=2*3*3=2*3^2

2. Finally, you need to choose the commons and non commons with their greatest exponents and multiply them. Then you get:

L.C.M=2*3^2*5=2*9*5\\\\L.C.M=90

Therefore, it will take 90 Earth years for them to all line up.

Sav [38]
The answer would be the sequence has a common ratio of 4.
The explanation for this would be:
To get the common ratio for get the simplest form of the two numbers, so 12/3 = 4 and 48/12 = 4So we know that their common ratio is 4.
To check:
3 x 4 = 12
12 x 4 = 48
48 x 4 = 192
192 x 4 = 768

On the number line 0.2 would be located. Choose a answer to make a true statement.
Mariulka [41]
Um, there are no choices, so I'll just tell you were it'd be located

Since 0.2 isn't yet 1, but its value is more than 0, it would be located in the middle of 1 and 0.
