Nty just putting an answer though you know?
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.
Answer:
15/2
Step-by-step explanation:
My interpretation of your math expression is "2 1/2 divided by 1/3."
I prefer to write this as:
5 1
----- ÷ -----
2 3
which is equivalent to:
5 3
----- * ----- = 15/2
2 1
Answer:
9y(2x - 1)(x - 2y)(x + 2y)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
18x³y - 9x²y - 72xy³ + 36y³ ← factor out 9y from each term
= 9y(2x³ - x² - 8xy² + 4y²)
Factor the first/second and third/fourth term in the parenthesis
= 9y( x²(2x - 1) - 4y²(2x - 1)) ← factor out (2x - 1) from each term
= 9y(2x - 1)(x² - 4y²)
x² - 4y² is a difference of squares and factors in general as
a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b), thus
x² - 4y²
= x² - (2y)² = (x - 2y)(x + 2y), hence
18x³y - 9x²y + 72xy³ + 36y³
= 9y(2x - 1)(x - 2y)(x + 2y) ← in factored form
