Answer:

1. (rose bunches, lily bunches) ∈ {(2, 3), (4, 6), (6, 9), (8, 12)}. The least is (2, 3).

2. 6(2+3); 14(3+1); 9(4+3)

Step-by-step explanation:

I like Euclid's algorithm for finding the greatest common factor (GCF): divide the larger number by the smaller, and note the remainder. If the remainder is zero, the smaller is the GCF; if not, use the remainder in place of the larger number and repeat.

1. The GCF of 8 and 12 is 4, so the least common multiple is ...

LCM(a, b) = ab/GCF(a, b)

LCM(8, 12) = 8·12/4 = 24

24 roses is 2 bunches; 24 lilies is 3 bunches. Up to 8 bunches of roses can be ordered to keep the number less than 100.

The florist could have ordered these numbers of bunches (roses, lilies):

(2, 3), (4, 6), (6, 9), (8, 12)

The least order is 2 bunches of roses and 3 bunches of lilies.

A. GCF = 6, so the factored form is 6(2+3)

B. GCF = 14, so the factored form is 14(3+1)

C. GCF = 9, so the factored form is 9(4+3)

Line segments JK and JL in the xy-coordinate plane both have a common endpoint J (-4,11) and midpoints an M1 (2,16) and M2 (-3,5

Arisa [49]

Answer:

12.1

Step-by-step explanation:

The dashed line joining M₁ and M₂ is the hypotenuse of a right triangle as shown in red below.

The base of the triangle is

x₂ - x₁ = 2 - (-3) = 2+ 3 = 5

The height of the triangle is

y₂ - y₁ = 16 - 5 = 11

We can now use Pythagoras' theorem to calculate distance between the two midpoints.

x² = 5² + 11² = 25 + 121 = 146

x = √146 = 12.1

The distance between M₁ and M₂ is 12.1.

Answer:

because this is a right triangle, we have''

$\frac{1}{x^{2} }=\frac{1}{36.100}+\frac{1}{64.100}=\frac{1}{2304}\\\\=>x^{2}=2304\\\\ =>x=48$

IRINA_888 [86]

Answer: 0.206

Step-by-step explanation: the probability of employees that needs corrective shoes are =8%= 8/100 = 0.08

Probability of employees that needs major dental work = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

Probability of employees that needs both corrective shoes and dental work = 3% = 3/100 = 0.03

The probability that an employee will need either corrective shoes or major dental work = (Probability an employee will need correct shoes and not need dental work) or (probability that an employee will need dental work or not corrective shoes)

Probability of employee not needing corrective shoes = 1 - 0.08 = 0.92

Probability of employee not needing dental work = 1 - 0.15 = 0.85

The probability that an employee will need either corrective shoes or major dental work = (0.08×0.85) + (0.15×0.92) = 0.068 + 0.138 = 0.206 = 20.6%

The probability that an employee will need either corrective shoes or dental work = 0.206.

Please note that the word "either" implies that we must choose one of the two options (corrective shoes or dental work) and not both.

What the answer for this ? :/

Hello there! I can help you! In order to answer those questions, we need to plug in the values, based off of the variable.

g. Okay. We are solving b - 10. b = -8. When you subtract something from a negative number, the number is even lower. Let's add the numbers first and then put in the negative symbol. 8 + 10 is 18. Put the negative sign and you get -18. The difference is -18.

h. Now, we solve a - b. a = 5 and b = -8. Because we are subtracting a negative number from a positive, we have to add both numbers, which means the number gets bigger. Ignore the negative sign and add. 5 + 8 is 13. There. The sum is 13.

i. The problem is c - a. c = -9 and a = 5. So as explained on problem G, for this problem, ignore the negative symbol and add. 9 + 5 is 14. Plug in the negative sign to get -14. There. The difference is -14.
