One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.
2: three occurrences
3: one occurrence
So, our LCM should be
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.
So, Marco can buy, at the very least, 24 beads of each color to have equal colors of beads.
Answer: 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of 2 point baskets made and y be the number of 3 point baskets made
:
1) x + y = 26
:
2) 2x + 3y = 60
:
solve equation 1 for x and substitute in equation 2
:
x = 26 - y
:
2(26 - y) +3y = 60
:
52 -2y +3y = 60
:
y = 8
:
x = 26 - 8 = 18

I assume you mean -5 and 3/4 instead of -53/4. In that case, it cannot be A, as -5.8 is less than -5.75 (AKA -5 3/4). It cannot be C or D either, though, as the number has to be less than -5.5, and -5.4 or -5.3 are both more than -5.5. Thus, by process of elimination, it has to be B, - 5.7. Hope I helped! Good luck in future!
Answer:
144cm^3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) split the figure so you can find the volume of two rectangular prisms.
2) Find the volume of the first rectangular prism with the measurements of 2, 5, and 8. So the volume is 80
3) Find the volume of the second rectangular prism with the measurements of 4, 2, and 8. So you have 64
4) Add the two values 80+64.
5) Then that's your answer; 144
Hope this helps! :D
