Answer:

Nate made a mistake. He should have got 24 as Least common factor.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given number are 8 and 12.

To find the GCF or LCF we have to list multiples.

For LCF

List the multiples of each number until at least one of the multiples appears on all lists.
Find the smallest number that is on all of the lists.
This number is the LCM.

For GCF

List the multiples of each number until at least one of the multiples appears on all lists.
Find the Biggest number that is on all of the lists.
This number is the GCF

The least common multiple of 8 and 12 is 24.

The Greatest common multiply of 8 and 12 is 4.

Hence, Nate is wrong. Nate should have found 24.

Answer:

1 1/4 liters of paint

Step-by-step explanation:

Clare is painting some doors that are all the same size. She used 2 liters of paint to cover 1LaTeX: \frac{3}{5}3 5 doors. How many liters of paint are needed for 1 door?

From the above question, we can deduce that:

2 liters of paint covers 1 3/5 doors

Hence:

1 3/5 doors = 2 liters of paint

1 door = x liters of paint

Cross Multiply

1 3/5 doors × x liters = 2 liters × 1 door

x liters = 2 liters × 1 door/ 1 3/5 doors

x liters = 2 ÷ 1 3/5

x liters = 2 ÷ 8/5

x liters = 2 × 5/8

x liters = 5/4 liters
