Answer: The answer is 24

Step-by-step explanation: One easy way to find least common multiples is to take the large number and multiply it by increasing numbers (1,2,3,etc.) until a number is found that is also divisible by the smaller number.

In this case, we can multiple 12 by increasing numbers until we find a number that is also divisible by 8.

⋅

This is not divisible by 8.

⋅

This is divisible by 8.

⋅

Therefore, the least common multiple is 24.

Jane has $5 more than three times as much money as Lonnie has.Bob has $1 less than four times as much money as Lonnie has. All t

kkurt [141]

Starting equation:
92=J+L+B

To find how much money Jane has, we use the equation:
J=5+3L
To find how much money Bob has, we use the equation:
B=4L-1

Enter those equations in the problem

92=(5+3L)+L+(4L-1)
Combine like terms
92=4+8L
Subtract 4 to isolate variable
88=8L
Divide by 8 to isolate variable
11=L

Answer:
Lonnie has $11
Jane has $38
Bob has $43

side note: Lonnie is that one poor friend we all have

How many years is tween 1844 to2015

STatiana [176]

To find the number of years between 1844 to 2015 you have to subtract.

Lets say that x is the # of years in between 1844 and 2015

Then we have:
$\sf{2015 - 1844 =x}$

After doing the subtraction using a calculator or a pencil and paper, you get that:

$\huge{\boxed{\bf{x=171}}}$

So 171 years have passed from 1844 to reach to 2015.
