Answer:

26

Step-by-step explanation:

The prime factors of 25 are 5*5.  Their sum is 5+5 = 10.

The prime factors of 26 are 2*13.  Their sum is 2+13 = 15.

The prime factors of 27 are 3*3*3.  Their sum is 3+3+3 = 9.

The greatest of these sums is 15; this means 26 is the best choice.

So sum the prime factors up

25=5*5, 5+5=10
26=2*13, 2+13=15
27=3*3*3, 3+3+3=9

15>10>9

26 is biggest

pick 26

Two bicyclists are 7/8 of the way through a mile long tunnel when a train approaches the closer end at 40 mph. The riders take o
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

the cyclists rode at 35 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming that the cyclists stopped, and accelerated instantaneously at the same speed than before but in opposite direction , then

distance= speed*time

since the cyclists and the train reaches the end of the tunnel at the same time and denoting L as the length of the tunnel :

time = distance covered by cyclists / speed of cyclists = distance covered by train / speed of the train

thus denoting v as the speed of the cyclists :

7/8*L / v = L / 40 mph

v = 7/8 * 40 mph = 35 mph

v= 35 mph

thus the cyclists rode at 35 mph

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

The two numbers are 52 and 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

x+y=64

x=16+3y

Now, substitute the second equation into the first one.

16+3y+y=64

16+4y=64

4y=48

y=12

Substitute 12 into one of the equations in order to find x.

x=16+3(12)

x=16+36

x=52

Someone help me with question #1 plzz
Oliga [24]

Answer:

x = 8 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that the ratio of the middle-length legs is 12/18, and that of the shortest-length legs is x/12.

Then:

12        x

----- = -----

18       12

... which, through cross- multiplication, becomes 18x = 144.  Then x = 8 units
