Answer:

4 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ann has an empty cup and add 1 ounce of water per second

let the number of seconds required to fill the cup be x

let the total be y

in x seconds Ann will have x ounces of water in the cup.

so the total amount of water in Ann's cup will be

y=x-----------1

Bob has 12 ounces of water and drinks 2 ounces per second

also, let the number of seconds required to empty the cup be x

let the total be y

y= 12-2x--------------2

Step two:

equate the two equations above and solve for x

x=12-2x

collect like terms

x+2x=12\\\\3x=12

divide both sides by 3

x=12/3\\\\x= 4 seconds

Therefore, after about 4 seconds Ann and Bob's cup will have the same amount of water

Lena is 10 years old. She asks her dad how old he is. He tells her that the lowest common multiple of their ages is 14 times the
Ksju [112]

Answer:

  35

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the factors of Lena's age are 2 and 5. The least common multiple must have these factors and the factors of 14, so will at least have factors of 2, 5, and 7.

Apparently, the dad's age is 5·7 = 35.

___

The GCF is 5; the LCM is 70 = 5×14.

_____

Sometimes, I use a little 3-part diagram to think about LCM and GCF. Here, it would look like ...

  (2 [5) 7]

where the numbers in curved brackets (2·5) and the numbers in square brackets [5·7] are factors of the two numbers of concern (Lena's age, her dad's age). The middle number in both brackets [5) is the greatest common factor, and the product of all three numbers is their least common multiple.

Here, the product of outside numbers, 2·7 = 14, represents the ratio of the LCM to the GCF. We know that Lena's age has factors of only 2 and 5, so the numbers in the diagram have to be (2[5)7], where 2 and 7 are on the ends and 5 is in the middle.
