Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest number that is divisible by two given numbers is called the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of those numbers.

What's the smallest number that is a multiple of 8 and also a multiple of 18?

One way to find out is to start making lists of multiples:

Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, and so on,

Multiples of 18: 18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, and so on.

This method can be a bit tedious, but in this case, it's clear that 72 is the LCM of 8 and 18.

Another method is to use the prime factorization of the two numbers.

Write 8 and 18 as the product of prime numbers; each number has a unique prime factorization.

8 = 2 x 2 x 2 = 2^3

18 = 2 x 3 x 3 = 2^1 x 3^2

To form the LCM, build a product of primes using the highest exponent in either of the two numbers.

LCM = 2^3 x 3^2 = 8 x 9 = 72.

Answer:

Penny would need to put in ~ $18,181.82

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the equation $A = P(1+rt)$

Where A = the total

P is equal to the starting amount

r is equal to the rate (percent)

and t is equal to the total time.

We can put in:

A = $40,000

r = 0.08 (8%)

t = 15

$40,000 = P(1 +(0.08* 15))\\40,000 = P(1+1.2)\\40,000 = P(2.2)\\\frac{40,000}{2.2} = P\\ \frac{200,000}{11} = P\\P = $18181.8181818181...$

Round to the nearest whole cent

P = $18,181.82

Answer:

2. 3.913 kg (3 dp)

3. light cream

4. 240 CoffeeStops

5. 7 CoffeeStops per square mile

6. 2,861 cups of coffee each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Skim milk density at 20 °C = 1.033 kg/l
Light cream density at 20 °C = 1.012 kg/l
1 liter = 0.264 gallons

Question 2

$\begin{aligned}\textsf{1 gallon} & = \sf \dfrac{1}{0.264}\:liters\\\\\implies \textsf{Mass (1 gallon of skim milk)} & = \sf Density \times Volume\\& = \sf 1.033\:kg/l \times \dfrac{1}{0.264}\:l\\& = \sf 3.913\:kg\:(3\:dp)\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the mass of 1 gallon of skim milk is 3.913 kg (3 dp)

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 3

Given:

Volume of liquid = 9 liters
Mass of liquid = 9.108 kg

$\begin{aligned}\implies \sf Density & = \sf \dfrac{Mass}{Volume}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{9.108\:kg}{9\:l}\\\\& = \sf 1.012\:kg/l \end{alilgned}$

Therefore, the container holds light cream.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 4

Given:

15 CoffeeStops per 100,000 people
Population of Manhattan ≈ 1,602,000 people

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Number of Coffeestops} & = \sf \dfrac{population}{density}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1,602,000}{100,000/15}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{1,602,000}{100,000} \times 15\\\\& = \sf 240.3\end{aligned}$

Therefore, there are 240 CoffeeStops.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 5

Given

Manhattan ≈ 34 square miles

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{CoffeeStops density} & = \sf \dfrac{number\:of\:stores}{land\:area}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{240}{34}\\\\& \approx \sf 7 \: \textsf{CoffeeStops per square mile}\end{aligned}$

Therefore, the density of CoffeeStops is 7 per square mile.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Question 6

Given:

Each person buys 3 cups of coffee per week

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Cups served each week} & = \textsf{number of people} \times \textsf{number of cups per week}\\& = \sf 1,602,000 \times 3\\& = \sf 4,806,000\: \textsf{cups per week}\\\\\implies \textsf{Cups per day} & = \sf \dfrac{\textsf{cups per week}}{\textsf{days in a week}}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{4,806,000}{7}\\\\& = \sf 686,571\:\textsf{(nearest whole number)}\end{aligned}$

$\begin{aligned}\implies \textsf{Cups served per day per shop} & = \dfrac{\textsf{cups per day}}{\textsf{number of shops}}\\\\& = \sf \dfrac{686,571}{240}\\\\& = \sf 2,861\: \textsf{(nearest whole number)} \end{aligned}$

Therefore, each Manhattan CoffeeStop serves approximately 2,861 cups of coffee each day.

A ladder is placed against the side of a house. The top of the ladder is 12 feet above the ground. The base of the ladder is 5 f

Colt1911 [192]

This is the Pythagorean theorem where the 2 legs of a triangle squared add up to equal the squared hypotenuse (a^2 + b^2 = c^2)

The equation would be
12^2 + 5^2 = x^2

144 + 25 = 169

The square root of 169 = 13

Answer - 13 ft
