1. Decompose all numbers into prime factors
300 2 150 2 75 3 25 5 5 5 1 400 2 200 2 100 2 50 2 25 5 5 5 1 500 2 250 2 125 5 25 5 5 5 1
2. Write all numbers as the product of its prime factors
Prime factors of 300 = 22 . 3 . 52
Prime factors of 400 = 24 . 52
Prime factors of 500 = 22 . 53
3. Choose the common and uncommon prime factors with the greatest exponent
Common prime factors: 2 , 5
Common prime factors with the greatest exponent: 24, 53
Uncommon prime factors: 3
Uncommon prime factors with the greatest exponent: 31
4. Calculate the Least Common Multiple or LCM
Remember, to find the LCM of several numbers you must multiply the common and uncommon prime factors with the greatest exponent of those numbers.
LCM = 24. 53. 31 = 6000

Unit rate feet per second 180 miles over 2 hours

Tatiana [17]

So that is equal to 180 miles per 2 hours which is 90 miles per hour if each hour has the same m/hr rate.
You can set up a proportion:
let x = number of miles per hour
$\frac{x}{180} = \frac{1}{2}$
cross multiply and you get
2x=180
divide both sides by 2 and you get
x=90
so you get the same answer both ways,
90 miles per hour

Claudia was cooking breakfast for her entire family she may double the amount of chocolate chip pancakes as she did regular panc

maw [93]

Answer: she made 36 chocolate chip pancakes, 18 regular pancakes, 9 blueberry pancakes and 27 sausagesl

Step-by-step explanation:

Let w represent the number of chocolate chip pancakes that she made.

Let x represent the number of regular pancakes that she made.

Let y represent the number of blueberry pancakes that she made.

Let z represent the number of sausages that she made.

she made double the amount of chocolate chip pancakes as she did regular pancakes. This means that

w = 2x

x = w/2

she only made half as many blueberry pancakes and she did regular pancakes. This means that

y = x/2

y = w/4

she made triple the amount of sausage as blueberry pancakes. This means that

z = 3y

z = 3w/4

if she cooked 90 items total, it means that

w + x + y + z = 90 - - - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = w/2, y = w/4 and z = 3w/4 into equation 1, it becomes

w + w/2 + w/4 + 3w/4 = 90

Multiplying through by 4, it becomes

4w + 2w + w + 3w = 360

10w = 360

w = 360/10

w = 36

x = w/2 = 36/2

x = 18

y = w/4 = 36/4

y = 9

z = 3y = 3 × 9

z = 27

The radius of a circle is 8 inches. What is the angle of an arc 2π inches long?

Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

π/4 radians

Step-by-step explanation:

The arc length formula is s = rФ, where Ф is the central angle (in radians).

Here, r = 8 inches and s = arc length = 2π inches. We need to find the central angle, Ф. The formula given above is s = rФ, or, equivalently,

Ф = s/r.

Here, the central angle is Ф = s/r = 2π/8, or π/4 radians.
