Answer: $60x^3y^5$

Step-by-step explanation:

Least Common Multiple :The least positive number that is a multiple of two or more numbers.

To find : The least common multiple of: $12x^3y^2$ and $15x^2y^5.$

Since, $12x^3y^2=2\times2\times3\times x^3y^2$

$15x^2y^5=3\times5\times x^2y^5$

The least common multiple of: $12x^3y^2$ and $15x^2y^5.$ = $2\times2\times3\times5\times x^3y^5=60x^3y^5$ [take highest power of x and y ]

Hence, the least common multiple of: $12x^3y^2$ and $15x^2y^5.$ = $60x^3y^5$

A metal alloy is 25% copper. Another metal alloy is 50% copper. How many grams of the 50% copper alloy should be used to make 10

Elis [28]

Well if the alloy makes the 1000 grams, but you are dealing with copper that isn't even 100% copper, than you either need 55% more copper, which isn't given, which means you really need 550 grams of alloy copper.

(3.8 x 10 ^ -6) x (2.37 x 10 ^ -3)<br><br> Enter the answer in science notification

Black_prince [1.1K]

Multiply the coefficients and the powers of 10 with each other:

$(3.8 \times 10^{-6}) \times (2.37 \times 10^{-3}) = (3.8\times2.37) \times (10^{-6} \times10^{-3})$

The numeric part simply yields

$3.8\times2.37 = 9.006$

As for the powers of 10, you have to add the exponents, using the rule

$a^b \times a^c = a^{b+c}$

So, we have

$10^{-6} \times10^{-3} = 10^{-6-3} = 10^{-9}$

So, the final answer is

$9.006\times 10^{-9}$
