If Anna gives 14 candies to her sister, she remains with 52. How many candies does Anna have ?
x-14=52|+14
x=52+14
x=66 candies
There is no relationship between Miles and gallons.
Note that
- 12=2·2·<u>3</u>;
- 20=2·2·5;
- 36=2·2·<u>3</u>·3.
The common factors of these three numbers are 2, 2. Also numbers 12 and 36 have one more common factor <u>3</u>, then the least common multiple is
LCM(12,20,36)=2·2·<u>3</u>·5·3=180 sec=3 min (here first you write all common factors between all three numbers, then between two numbers and at last all remaining factors).
Answer: all three experiments will need to be checked after 3 minutes passed, then after 6 minutes passed, then after 9 minutes passed and so on.
