Answer:

<em>24, 48, 72, 96</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Least Common Multiple (LCM)</u>

It's the smallest positive number that is a multiple of two or more numbers. For example, let's find the LCM of 15 and 25:

Multiples of 15: 15,30,45,60,75,90,...

Multiples of 25: 25,50,75,100,...

Note 75 is a common multiple of both and is also the smallest possible.

Lin puts a snowflake sticker every 6 lockers and a snowman sticker every 8 lockers. To find the lockers where both stickers are places, we must find the LCM of 6 and 8:

6 = 2*3

8 = 2*2*2

Multiplying the common factors the maximum number of times it appears:

LCM = 2*2*2*3 = 24

Thus, every 24 lockers there are two stickers until Lin reaches the last 100th locker along the halfway.

The sequence of lockers is:

24, 48, 72, 96

One analog clock loses 3 minutes every 2 hours and another analog clock gains 3 minutes every 4 hours. At noon, the owner sets t
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

12 noon

Step-by-step explanation:

Clock 1 loses 3 minutes every 2 hours. Now, 2 hours = 120 minutes.

This means, it has speed of 120 - 3 = 117 minutes for every 2 hours.

Thus, in 1 hours, it's speed = 117/2 = 58.5 min/hr

Clock 2 gains 3 minutes every 4 hours

Which means in an hour, it gains ; 4/3 minutes

Thus, it's speed an hour is; 60 + 4/3 = 61.333 min/hr

Now, When he returns home in less than two weeks, the clocks show the same time.

let's say the number of hours he was away is x. For the 2 clocks to show the same time, it means they have to show it by 12 noon at another day since it was at noon that he set the correct times before leaving.

Thus, they will both be showing 12 noon.
