Answer:
<em>It will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Least Common Multiple (LCM)</u>
Three events keep James from sleeping: his clock ticking every 20 seconds, a tap dripping every 15 seconds, and his dog snoring every 27 seconds.
All three events happened together at midnight. They will happen together again the first time the numbers 20, 15, and 27 have a common multiple. This is the LCM.
List the prime factors of each number:
20: 2,2,5
15: 3,5
27: 3,3,3
Now multiply all the factors the maximum number of times they appear:
LCM=2*2*3*3*3*5=540
(a) All the events will happen together again after 540 minutes.
(b) Since 540 minutes = 9 hours, this event won't happen again until 9 am. Thus, it will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.

Answer:
x=3, y=2
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, all you have to do is add 1/5 and 1/3.
Well, you might be thinking, "But the denominators are not the same! Fractions have to have like denominators in order to be added together!" And you are right. So, all we have to do, is make them both have the same denominator. To do this, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number to find an equivalent fraction.
For 1/5, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3, to get 3/15.
Likewise, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/3 by 5, to get 5/15.
Now, you can easily add 3/15 and 5/15 because all you have to do is add the numerators, because the denominators are the same!
3/15+5/15=8/15, so she spends 8/15 hour on her math and social studies homework.
Hope I helped!
