Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LCM of 12 and 15

First Method: Listing the multiples

First, write the common multiples of all three numbers.

Common Multiples of 12: 12,24,36,48,60,72,….

Common Multiples of 15: 15, 30, 45, 60, 75,…

Hence, the Least common multiple of 12 and 15 is 60.

Second method: By prime factorisation

Let us write the prime factors of the two numbers individually.

12 = 2 x 2 x 3

15= 3 x 5

Multiply each factor the maximum number of times it occurs in either number

= 2 X 2 X 3 X 5

= 60

LCM of 12 and 15= 60

Answer

LCM of 12 and 15= 60

Hope this helps :)

Gavin thought he was making a good investment when he heard about an online grocery company. So he bought 500 shares in the comp

kirill [66]

The answer would be D) 98.8% because if the initial price is $25 per share, then Gavin would have spent $12,500. None of the other answers make sense since if it was just 3% or 82.3%, then it would be too much to equal $150 in return. If you were to put C, then the shares would equal $4.43 each, and If you bought 500 shares, then it would equal $2,212.5 which would be way more than $150. In the other hand, D is correct because then only 1 share would equal $0.3 and that multiplied by 500 equals precisely $150.

Hope this helps!

Maria works as a ride loader on "Space Mountain". She averages twenty passengers every twenty minutes. Sal also works as a ride

Sati [7]

Answer:

36 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

Maria averages 20 passengers every 20 minutes, so she places 1 passenger per minute.

Sal averages 20 passengers every 25 minutes, so he places 0.8 passenger per minute.

If they work together, they can place (1 + 0.8) passengers = 1.8 passengers per minute.

In 20 minutes, they can load

1.8 passengers/minute * 20 minutes = 36 passengers
