<h3>HCF and LCM Questions</h3>

Responses:

6. (i) 27

(ii) 4 rose stalks, 3 lily stalks, and 2 orchid stalks

7. After 18 minutes

8. (i) May 7th

(ii) Every 12 days

<h3>How can the HCF and LCM be used to find the right responses?</h3>

6. The number of stalks of roses = 108

Number of stalks of lilies = 81

Number of stalks of orchids = 54

(i) The largest number of baskets that can be packed is given by the

Highest Common Factor, GCF , or HCF,  of  108, 81, and 54, which is

found as follows;

54 = 2 × 27

81 = 3 × 27

108 = 4 × 27

Therefore;

The HCF of 108, 81, and 54 is 27

Which gives;

  • The largest number of baskets that can be packed = <u>27</u>

(ii) From the above factors, we have;

  • Number of rose stalks per basket = <u>4</u>
  • Number of lilies per basket =<u> 3</u>
  • Number of orchids per basket =<u> 2</u>

7. Length of the circular path = 1 km. = 1,000 m.

Time Lixin takes to walk one round = 18 minutes = 1,080 seconds

Time Khairul takes to run one round = 360 seconds

Time Devi takes to cycle 2 rounds = 4 minutes

Therefore;

Time Devi takes to complete 1 round = \frac{4}{2} = 2 minutes = 120 seconds

Required:

The time at which the three of them will next meet at the starting point

Solution:

The time at which they meet at the starting point is given as the lowest

common multiple, LCM of 1,080, 360, and 120, which is given as

follows.

1,080 = 360 × 3

1,080 = 120 × 9

1,080 = 1,080 × 1

Therefore;

The LCM of 1,080, 360, and 120 is 1,080

  • The time they will next meet at the starting point is after 1,080 seconds which is <u>18 minutes</u>

8. The days off of Nora = Every 4 days

Days off for Amirah = Every 6 days

Nora's last day of = 29 April

Amirah's last day off = 1 May

(i) The next time they will both have the same day off is given as follows;

6·x = 2 + 4·x

2·x = 2

x = 1

Therefore, the next time Amirah has a day off, which is 1 May + 6 days = 7 May, they will both have the same day off.

  • They will both have the same day off on May 7

(ii) The number of days that it will take for them to have the same day off is given by the HCF of 4 and 6, which is <u>every 12 days</u>.

A survey of students' favorite sports was taken from a random sample of
White raven [17]

Answer:

129

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the survey to be representative, you can simply multiply the share of students <em>p</em> preferring “Track & Field” with the whole school population at the same time to estimate the number of such students in the whole school.

First we need to find the relative share <em>p</em> of such answers in the study by dividing it by the sum of answers, assuming that the table is complete for that random sample:

<em>p</em> = 4/(8 + 5 + 4) = 4/17

Then for the whole school we get 550 <em>p</em> ≈ 129.4

Through: (-3,0), perp. to y = 3x - 1
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given: </u>

line y=3x-1

point (-3,0)

<u>Write:</u> equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given and passes through the point (-3,0)

<u>Solution:</u>

The slope of the given line is m=3

If m_1 is the slope of perpendicular line, then

m\cdot m_1=-1\\ \\3m_1=-1\\ \\m_1=-\dfrac{1}{3}

So, the equation of the needed line is y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x+b.

Find b. This line passes through the point (-3,0), so its coordinates satisfy the equation:

0=-\dfrac{1}{3}\cdot (-3)+b\\ \\0=1+b\\ \\b=-1\\ \\y=-\dfrac{1}{3}x-1

Solve for x in the diagram below
ella [17]

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + x + 100 = 180 (sum of angles on a straight line)

4x = 180-100

4x=80

divide both sides by 4

x=20

Flying fish use their pectoral fins like airplane wings to glide through the air. Suppose a flying fish reaches a maximum height
GrogVix [38]

The flight is in the shape of a parabola with a vertex 5 feet above the water and  1/2 * 33 = 16.5 feet horizontally from the point of leaving the water

y = a(x - h)^2 + k

where  (h,k)  is the vertex of the  parabola and here it is (5 , 16.5), so we have the function:-

y = a(x - 16.5)^2 + 5

when x = 0 y = 0  so

0 = a(-16.5)^2 + 5

which gives a = -0.018365

So our function for the flight path is

y = -0.018365(x - 16.5)^2 + 5     Answer
