List the multiples of both 12 and 9:

12, 24, 36, 48, 60

9, 18, 27, 36, 45

The lowest common multiple is 36.

This will make the fixtures and bulbs equal.

This means they bought 3 packages of light figures 3 x 12 = 36)

And bought 4 packages of bulbs ( 4 x 9 = 36)

Find out LCM of 9,12

  • LCM=2(2)(3)(3)=36

Now

No of light packages=36/12=3

No of light bulbs=36/4=9

Each car in a rental fleet is either red or white, and there are 75 cars total. There are three more white than twice the number
professor190 [17]
Number of red cars = x
Number of white cars = y

x + y = 75
y + 3 = 2x

x + y = 75
y = 75 - x

(75 - x) + 3 = 2x
78 = 3x
26 = x

y + 3 = 2(26)
y + 3 = 52
y = 49

There are 49 white cars.

Y is directly proportional to x. when x = 8, y = 20. determine the value of y when x = 3​
wolverine [178]

Step-by-step explanation:

y is directly proportional to x

y = kx

k represents the constant of proportionality.

when y = 20 and x = 8:

20 = 8k

Dividing both sides by 8 gives:

k = 2.5

Hence when x = 3.

y = 2.5(3)

y = 7.5 .
