Answer:
The third number is 180.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the third number be 9x where x is an integer.
48 = 2*2*2*2*3
264 = 2*2*2*3*11
9x = 3*3*x
2*2*2*2*3*3*11*x = 7920y where y is an integer
1584x = 7920y
so x = 7920y / 1584= 5y.
Now the GCD is 12 so x must have 4 as one of its factors.
Also x is a multiple of 5 so it could be 20 then y would be 4.
If x = 20 then the third number is 9*20 = 180.
This checks out OK.
Answer:
The answer is B. He spent 3 minutes eating lunch for every 10 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
He spent stuck inside during the brainstorm for:
20+18+12+10= 60 minutes in total.
And now we want to know what he did for every 10 minutes he spent in the rainstorm. To do that we need to divide what he did for every 10 minutes by the total of minutes that he was stuck:

And now we can multiply the time of the activities by 1/6 to get the time he did each activity every 10 minutes.
Reading:
minutes reading for every 10 minutes.
Eating:
minutes eating for every 10 minutes.
Watching TV:
minutes watching TV for every 10 minutes.
Drawing:
minutes drawing for every 10 minutes.
Therefore he spent 3 minutes eating lunch for every 10 minutes.

Hello!
I just completed this test and if I'm correct in assuming that this is the same problem I did, then your answer would be 18 cm.
Hope this helps! :)
