Step 1: LCM of 24 , 30 and 60 = 120
so 120 is the least no which is divisible by all 24 , 30 and 60
Step 2: factors of 120 will be 2^3 * 3 * 5
so the least perfect square, which is divisible by 24, 30 and 60 will be
(2^3 * 3 * 5) x ( 2 * 3 * 5 ) = 3600
3600
To solve this problem, we can begin by analyzing the graph and then eliminating incorrect answers. By looking at the graph, we can see that it has a positive correlation (the graph is increasing from left to right), which tells us that it has a positive slope. Using this knowledge, we can eliminate answer choices C and D, which both suggest equations with a negative slope (which would mean that the line was decreasing from left to right).
Next, we must analyze the slope. Answer A suggests that the slope is 3/2, meaning that the line rises 3 units for every 2 units it goes across. Answer B suggests that the slope is 1/2, meaning that the line rises 1 unit for every 2 units that it goes across. If we look at the graph, let's say at the point (0,3), the next closest point is 3 units up and 2 units across, which lets us know that the slope is positive 3/2.
Therefore, your answer is A. y = 3/2x + 3 (which is confirmed by the point we recognized, (0,3), which is the y-intercept of the equation).
Hope this helps!
Let's make an equation where x is the number of gallons and y will be the overall price.
2.5x=y; since it is $2.52 PER gallon, you need to multiply the amount of gallons by the cost. In this case, it is 4.
2.5(4)=10
So, the price of 4 gallons is $10.
