Answer:

<em>It will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Least Common Multiple (LCM)</u>

Three events keep James from sleeping: his clock ticking every 20 seconds, a tap dripping every 15 seconds, and his dog snoring every 27 seconds.

All three events happened together at midnight. They will happen together again the first time the numbers 20, 15, and 27 have a common multiple. This is the LCM.

List the prime factors of each number:

20: 2,2,5

15: 3,5

27: 3,3,3

Now multiply all the factors the maximum number of times they appear:

LCM=2*2*3*3*3*5=540

(a) All the events will happen together again after 540 minutes.

(b) Since 540 minutes = 9 hours, this event won't happen again until 9 am. Thus, it will occur zero times between midnight and one o'clock.

During a huge snowstorm in the white mountains last year, it snowed 62.5 cm in one day. how much did it snow in meters?
makkiz [27]
Cm is a centimeter, which is one-hundredth of a meter. Or rather, one hundred centimeters is equal to one meter.

To convert cm to meters

(62.5 cm) * (1 meter/100 cm) = .625 meters
