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.

$x=5.38$ . Correct option C)5.38

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Find the value of x. O is the center of the circle. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. picture is attached . Let's find out:

In the given figure , Let's draw a line from center to the point where cord of length 8 unit is touching the circle or intersecting or , where this chord finishes . This line is radius of circle and is denoted by x , So now we have a right angle triangle with dimensions as :

$Perpendicular =3.6\\Base=\frac{8}{2}=4\\Hypotenuse=x$

By Pythagoras Theorem ,

$Hypotenuse^2=Perpendicular^2+base^2$

⇒ $x^2=(3.6)^2+(4)^2$

⇒ $x=\sqrt{(3.6)^2+(4)^2}$

⇒ $x=\sqrt{12.96+16}$

⇒ $x=\sqrt{28.96}$

⇒ $x=5.38$

Therefore , $x=5.38$ . Correct option C)5.38

same with 65 year olds; they are more than 64 year old, but not yet /over/ 65, therefore they would not fit into either category either.

A relay race covers 1 1/2 kilometers, and each runner on a team will rub 1/4 of a kilometers. How many runners are needed for a

VikaD [51]

We need to find how many 1/4 groups are in 1 1/2.
I work better with decimals, so I'll just convert them into decimals. We're dividing to see how many people we need.
1.5÷0.25
6
So, you'll need 6 runners for the relay race.
