Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify the fraction 3/18 to 1/6, this will help a lot. Then, you just, find the LCM, and you can list out the mutliples to help you

6, 12, 18, 24, 39, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60

16, 32, 48, 64, 80

It would be easiest to do 48

But that's not exactly what the question is asking

It's asking the LCM of 1/16 and 3/18

I wanted to show you the other way so you would be able to think of it in a different way which would be easier

You would just list out the multiples again.

18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 135, 153, 171, 189

16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 130, 146, 162, 178, 194

Ok, I give up on that

Let's just do 16*18 which is 288.

288 is your LCM

Sometimes multiplying is easier and other times listing it out is easier.

I hope this helped

Let me know if you have any questions

Question

dezoksy [38]

Answer:

The equations of the lines are y=3 and y=8.

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so if the slopes are opposites, the slopes must be 0.

A line with this slope and passing through (7, 3) has equation y=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

The above answer statements pretty much speak for themselves. The only opposite numbers that are equal are 0 and -0 = 0, so the slopes must be 0.

A line with a zero slope has a constant y-value, so is of the form ...

y = constant

If it goes through a point with a y-coordinate of 3, then the constant must be 3. The line is ...

y = 3

___

If the sum of two numbers is 11 and one of them is 3, the other is 8. So, the parallel line has equation y = 8.

The answer is 3597. You subtract when it says he's diving because he's losing altitude and you add when it says hes climbing because hes going up.

Answer: the value of this investment after 20 years is $112295.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining future value involving deposits at constant intervals. It is expressed as

S = R[{(1 + r)^n - 1)}/r][1 + r]

Where

S represents the future value of the investment.

R represents the regular payments made(could be weekly, monthly)

r = represents interest rate/number of interval payments.

n represents the total number of payments made.

From the information given,

Since there are 12 months in a year, then

r = 0.066/12 = 0.0055

n = 12 × 20 = 240

R = $225

Therefore,

S = 225[{(1 + 0.0055)^240 - 1)}/0.0055][1 + 0.0055]

S = 225[{(1.0055)^240 - 1)}/0.0055][1.0055]

S = 225[{(3.73 - 1)}/0.0055][1.0055]

S = 225[{(2.73)}/0.0055][1.0055]

S = 225[496.36][1.0055]

S = $112295.2
