Answer:

11 people will get both the prizes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we need to find common integral multiples of 5 and 7 under 400. As you can see in the figure 35th person is the first one to get both ipod and psp. The LCM (least common multiple) of 5 and 7 which is 35 (!!! <em>I hope you know how to LCM of two integers </em>).

Therefore the integral multiples of 35 will be same as the common multiples of 5 and 7. So, figuring out the number of integral multiples of 35 under 400 will give the answer.

To do that divide the number 400 with 35. On performing the division the quotient will be 11 and the remainder will be 15.

Therefore 11 persons out of 400 will get both the prizes.

Similarly if you want to find the number of person getting ipod then divide 400 with 5. The quotient will be 80. ∴ 80 people will get ipod.

And for psp, divide 400 with 7. The quotient will be 57. ∴ 57 people will get psp.

In these divisions, consider just the quotient, here remainder is of no use.

sukhopar [10]

Answer:4000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let them number be a

655% of a=26200

655/100 x a=26200

655a/100=26200

Cross multiplying we get

655a=26200x100

655a=2620000

Divide both sides by 655

655a/655 = 2620000/655

a=4000

karen has 3 1/3 hours to run errands spends 1 2/3 hour at grocery store and rest at library how muh time did she spend at librar
hichkok12 [17]

Answer:

1 and 2/3 hours (One hour and 40 minutes.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Karen has 3 and 1/3 hours.

She spends 1 and 2/3 hours at the store.

3 and 1/3 - 1 and 2/3 = 1 and 2/3 or 5/3 is the time she had left after being at the grocery store.

Because the rest of the time was spent at the library, that is your answer.
