Answer:
a= 20/3
Step-by-step explanation:
- Subtract 4/15 from 9/15
- Then take 5/15 and multiply it by 20
This distance is 27 feet. This is so because 12 + 15 = 27. Hope this helps
Solve for x by simplifying both sides of the equation, then isolating the variable.
x = 15
LCM is 240
GCF is 6
<em>long explanation</em>
Least common multiple or lowest common denominator (lcd) can be calculated in two way; with the LCM formula calculation of greatest common factor (GCF), or multiplying the prime factors with the highest exponent factor.
LCM(a,b) = ( a × b) / GCF(a,b)
We will now calculate the prime factors of 30 and 48, than find the greatest common factor (greatest common divisor (gcd) of the numbers by matching the biggest common factor of 30 and 48.
Step-1: Prime Factorization of 30
30 = 2^1 × 3^1 × 5^1
Step-2: Prime Factorization of 48
48 = 2^4 × 3^1
Step-3: Factors of 30
1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15
Step-4: Factors of 48
1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, 16, 24
Final Step: Biggest Common Factor Number
We found the factors and prime factorization of 30 and 48. The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 30 and 48 is 6.
