Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 3 = 15

2x = 15-3

What is the LCM of 55,121 and 132

serg [7]

132/2 = 66
66/2 = 33
33/3 = 11
11/11 = 1

132 = 2^2 * 3 * 11

55121/11 = 5011
5011/5011 = 1

55,121 = 11 * 5011

LCM = common factor with larger exponent * not common factors

LCM = 2^2 * 3 * 11 * 5011

LCM = 661,452

Lakelyn is training for a triathlon she is practising her swiming running and biking skills so far she can swim at a rate of 250

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

It would take Lalelyn bout 3 hours to run the 18m miles, and it will take her

$\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t$ and x +y+z =18 where x, y, and z are the distannce covered swimming, running and bikinr respectifully

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the question, we lisrt out the variables as follows

Swimming speed of Lakelyn = 250 yards every 5 minutes or 250×12 = 3000 yards/hour = 1.7 miles/hr

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

Biking speed = 12 miles/hour

The duration it will take for Lakelyn to run 18 miles is given by

Timee taken to run 18 miles t = (Distance covered)/ (Speed of Lakelyn))

or t = D/S

Substituting the known values of such as

Running speed of Lakelyn = 6 miles/hour

From which we have the time taken to run 18 miles = 18 miles /(6 miles/hour) = 3 hours

should the 18 miles form part of the triathlon then, we have

$\frac{x}{1.7} +\frac{y}{6} +\frac{z}{12} = t$ and x +y+z =18

Where x, y and z are the distance covered Swimming, Running and Biking respectively

Answer:

The unit rate for pistachio nuts is $3.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Price of 2 pounds of pistachio nuts = $7.96

We need to find the price of 1 pound of pistachio nuts.

To find the same we will use the unitary method,
