Answer:
The correct answer is: 360.
Explanation:
First we can express 120 as follows:
2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 = 120
You can get the above multiples as follows:
120/2 = 60
60/2 =30
30/2 = 15
15/3 = 5 (Since 15 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)
5/5 = 1
Take all the terms in the denominator for 120, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 5 --- (1)
Second we can express 360 as follows:
360/2 = 180
180/2 = 90
90/2 =45
45/3 = 15 (Since 45 cannot be divisible by 2, so we move to the next number)
15/3 = 5
5/5 = 1
Take all the terms in the denominator for 360, you would get: 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 5 --- (2)
Now in (1) and (2) consider the common terms once and multiple that with the remaining:
2*2*2*3*5 = Common between the two
3 = Remaining
Hence (2*2*2*3*5) * (3) = 360 = LCM (answer)
Answer:
The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000
The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5%
y ----> the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3%
we know that
----> ----> equation A
----> equation B
Solve the system by substitution
substitute equation A in equation B
Solve for x
<em>Find the value of y</em>
therefore
The amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 5% was $1,000 and the amount invested in the mutual fund that earned 3% was $1,800
Answer:
1.75 gallons of paint
Step-by-step explanation:
A student in the construction trades program has 4 1/2 gallons of paint
If the student uses 2.75 gallons in one room then the gallons of paint that are left can be calculated as follows
= 4 1/2 - 2.75
= 9/2 - 2.75
= 4.5 - 2.75
= 1.75
Hence 1.75 gallons of paint are left
