Answer:
The correct answer is: 360.
Explanation:
First we can express 120 as follows:
2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120
You can get the above multiples as follows:
120/2 = 60
60/2 =30
30/2 = 15
15/3 = 5 (Since 15 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)
5/5 = 1
Take all the terms in the denominator for 120, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 --- (1)
Second we can express 360 as follows:
360/2 = 180
180/2 = 90
90/2 =45
45/3 = 15 (Since 45 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)
15/3 = 5
5/5 = 1
Take all the terms in the denominator for 360, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 --- (2)
Now in (1) and (2) consider the common terms once and multiple that with the remaining:
2*2*2*3*5 = Common between the two
3 = Remaining
Hence (2*2*2*3*5) * (3) = 360 = LCM (answer)
Answer:
Speed of a= 21 miles/hr
r = Speed of b= 7 miles/hr
Speed of a = 3r
Step-by-step explanation:
The cyclist are 112 miles apart
Time traveled by two = 4 hours
Speed of a = 3 * speed of b
If a cylcles 3 times More than b, then a will cover 3*distance of b
But speed = distance/time
Time = 4hours
Total distance=112
a = 3b
3b + b = 112
4b = 112
b = 112/4
b = 28 miles
a = 3b
a = 3*28
a = 84 Miles
They bought traveled 4 hours
Speed of a = 84miles/4 hours
Speed of a= 21 miles/hr
Speed of b = 28miles/4 hours
Speed of b = 7 miles/hr
