Answer:

144 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

To do solve this question, we must find the LCM (least common multiple) of 12, 16, and 18.

Let's start by prime factorizing (finding the prime factors) all the numbers.

12\rightarrow3*4\rightarrow2*2*3

16\rightarrow4*4\rightarrow2*2*2*2

18\rightarrow2*9\rightarrow2*3*3

Now, we must find the greatest quantity of each [prime] number and multiply them together to obtain the least common multiple.

Upon further evaluation of the [prime] factors, we can see that we need four 2s and two 3s. Therefore...

2*2*2*2*3*3=2^4*3^2=16*9=144

They will be fired together again after 144 seconds.

You can write it as a proportion and then solve the proportion. 
(2.5 hours is 150 minutes)
14 cars          x cars
--------------- = -------------------
45 minutes    150 minutes

Then solve.

x=46.6666666
So that is about 47 cars

Tina wants to decorate a rectangular picture frame measuring 18 w 14 tall she has 4 ft of rope dies she have enough rope
igor_vitrenko [27]

Tina does not have enough rope to decorate the frame

Step-by-step explanation:

Tina wants to decorate a rectangular picture frame

  • The width of the frame is 18 inches
  • The length of the frame is 14 inches
  • She has 4 feet rope

We want to know if she has enough rope or not to decorate the frame

∵ The frame is in the shape of the rectangle

- The length of the rope must be equal the perimeter of the frame

∵ The perimeter of a rectangle = 2 length + 2 width

∵ The length = 14 inches

∵ The width = 18 inches

∴ The perimeter of the frame = 2(14) + 2(18) = 28 + 36 = 64 inches

∵ The length of the rope is 4 feet

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∴ The length of the rope = 4 × 12 = 48 inches

∵ 48 < 64

∴ The length of the rope is less than the perimeter of the frame

∴ Tina does not have enough rope

Tina does not have enough rope to decorate the frame

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

14.  m = 7/8

15  x =63

16.  y= 21/2

Step-by-step explanation:

14.  7       16

   ---- = --------

m           2

using cross products

7 * 2 = 16 * m

14 = 16m

divide by 16

14/16 = m

simplifiy

7/8 =m


14.  x       14

   ---- = --------

    18         4

using cross products

4 * x = 18 * 14

4x = 252

divide by 4

4x/4 = 252/4

x = 63


15.  30       y

   ---- = --------

    20         7

using cross products

30*7 = 20 y

210 = 20 y

divide by 20

210/20 =y

21/2 = y
