The answer to this question is choice option letter C
C= Colorado B= Boston
C + B = 464
C = 1.2B
Substitute the known value of C from the second equation into the first
C + B = 464
(1.2B) + B = 464
2.2B = 464
Divide each side by 2.2
B = 210.9, rounded to 211 (it's asking for days, not partial days, so round)
If Boston has 211 days of sunshine , then Colorado Springs has 1.2 times that amount. 211 * 1.2 = 253.2 (rounded to 253)
Verification
211 + 253 = 464
One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.
2: three occurrences
3: one occurrence
So, our LCM should be
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.
So, Marco can buy, at the very least, 24 beads of each color to have equal colors of beads.
The answer is 18.975 but you might want to round that to 18.98
Answer:
Courtney's walking speed = 3.33mph
Brandi's walking speed = 4.33 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = Courtney's walking speed
then
(x + 1) = Brandi's walking speed
:
Time = Distance/speed
Brandi walks 6.5 mi time = Courtney walks 5 mi time
6.5/x + 1 = 5/x
Cross multiply
6.5x= 5(x+1)
6.5x= 5x + 5
6.5x - 5x = 5
1.5x = 5
x = 5/1.5
x = 3.33 mph is Courtney's walking speed
Note that:
(x + 1) = Brandi's walking speed
3.33mph + 1 = 4.33mph
Therefore,
Courtney's walking speed = 3.33mph
Brandi's walking speed = 4.33 mph
