28 is the least common multiple. To find the least common multiple, you look through the numbers both 4 and 7 go into. The smallest of those number is the least common multiple, or LCD.
Answer: Joe's weekly allowance = $12
Step-by-step explanation:
Joe spent half of his weekly allowance playing mini-golf
Let a = his weekly allowance
This means Joe spent a/2 playing mini-golf.
To earn money, his parents let him weed the garden for $6
This means Joe's total money
= a + 6
What is his weekly allowance if he ended with $12?
This means he had $12 left after spending a/2 from ta total of (a +6)
Therefore,
(a +6) -a/2 = 12
Taking LCM of 2
[2(a+6)-a]/2=12
Cross multiplying by 2
2a + 12-a = 24
a+12 =24
a = 24-12 =$12
Joe's weekly allowance = $12
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The square root of 8 to the nearest 100th is 2.83
The 3 is less than 5 so it does not alter the 8 at all.
The answer is 2.8
Formula
====
d = r * t
Givens
======
d = 2 3/4
t = 1 hour 15 minutes
r = ????
Calculations
==========
You need to convert the 15 minutes to hours.
1 hour = 60 minutes
x hour = 15 minutes
1/60 = x/15
x = 15/60
x = 0.25 hours
so the time = 1 hours + 0.25 hours
t = 1.25 hours
Now you need to do something with the distance.
3/4 mile = 0.75 of a mile
So the distance = 2 + 0.75 = 2.75 miles
Now you are ready for the answer.
d = r * t you are looking for r
2.75 = r * 1.25
r = 2.75/1.25
r = 2.2 miles / hour
Note you could do this with fractions.
2 3/4 = 11/4
1 1/4 = 5/4
r = 11/4 // 5/4 =11/5 = 2 1/5 which is the same thing as 2.2. If your calculator can handle fractions (those kind of calculators cost about 10 dollars in Canada. It should be 8 in the US) that might be the way to do this problem.
