What is the smallest integer k>2000 such that both 17k/66 and 13k/105} are terminating decimals?

17k/66 and 13k/105 must reduce to fractions with a denominator that only consists of powers of 2 or 5.

For example, some fractions with terminating decimals are

1/2 = 0.5

1/4 = 1/2² = 0.25

1/5 = 0.2

1/8 = 1/2³ = 0.125

1/10 = 1/(2•5) = 0.1

1/16 = 1/2⁴ = 0.0625

and so on, while some fractions with non-terminating decimals have denominators that include factors other than 2 or 5, like

1/3 = 0.333…

1/6 = 1/(2•3) = 0.1666…

1/7 = 0.142857…

1/9 = 1/3² = 0.111…

1/11 = 0.09…

1/12 = 1/(2²•3) = 0.8333…

etc.

Since 66 = 2•3•11, we need 17k to have a factorization that eliminates both 3 and 11.

Similarly, since 105 = 3•5•7, we need 13k to eliminate the factors of 3 and 7.

In other words, 17k must be divisible by both 3 and 11, and 13k must be divisible by both 3 and 7. But 13 and 17 are both prime, so it's just k that must be divisible by 3, 7, and 11. These three numbers are relatively prime, so the least positive k that meets the conditions is LCM(2, 7, 11) = 231, and thus k can be any multiple of 231.

If you're familiar with modular arithmetic, this is the same as solving for k such that

13k ≡ 0 (mod 3)

17k ≡ 0 (mod 3)

17k ≡ 0 (mod 7)

13k ≡ 0 (mod 11)

and the Chinese remainder theorem says that k = 231n solves the system of congruences, where n is any integer.

Now it's just a matter of finding the smallest multiple of 231 that's larger than 2000, which easily done by observing

2000 = 8•231 + 152

and so k = 9•231 = 2079.

A new cookie cake company is offering a
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

200.96in^2

Step-by-step explanation:

If the 1st cookie cake is 8" for its diameter and the 2nd cookie cake will have twice the length diameter of the 1st cookie cake .You will do 2 × 8 to get the diameter of the 2nd cookie cake.

First cookie cake diameter is 8".

Second cookie cake's diameter is 16".

Since we need the radius to find the area of the 2nd cookie cake we're going to do 16 / 2 which equals 8 so 8 is the radius.

A=(pi)r^2

A=(pi)8^2 *to the 2nd power means times by the same number

A=(pi)64

A= (3.14)(64)

A=200.96

=200.96^2

pi= 3.14 *for this problem

Solve for x<br> Please.
Sonja [21]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the triangle is right use the tangent ratio to find x

tan64° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{x}{11}

Multiply both sides by 11

x = 11 × tan64° = 22.55 → B
