<h3>Answer: 9</h3>

Explanation:

One method is to do the steps like this

15% of 60 = 0.15*60 = 9

Or you can solve like this

part/whole = percent/100

x/60 = 15/100

100x = 60*15

100x = 900

x = 900/100

x = 9

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first we turn ur mixed number into an improper fraction

1 1/4 = 5/4

the reciprocal of 5/4 can be found by just flipping it....so the reciprocal is gonna be 4/5

so 1 1/4 subtracted from its reciprocal is :

4/5 - 5/4 =

16/20 - 25/20 =

Take the LCM of the three numbers. Since 2 is a multiple of 4, you can ignore the two and just take the LCM of 4 and 3.5. Since 3.5 is a decimal, the LCM is just 3.5*4 which is 14. That is how many minutes after 8:00 they will flash together again.<span />
