Answer:

The correct answer is:

Ken will have run 3 laps and Hamid will have run 4.

Explanation:

To find this, we first find the number of seconds that will have passed when they meet again. We use the LCM, or least common multiple, for this. First we find the prime factorization of each number:

80 = 10(8)

10 = 5(2)

8 = 2(4)

4 = 2(2)

80 = 2(2)(2)(5)(2)

60 = 10(6)

10 = 5(2)

6 = 2(3)

60 = 2(2)(3)(5)

For the LCM, we multiply the common factors by the uncommon. Between the two numbers, the common factors are 2, 2 and 5. This makes the uncommon 2, 2, and 3, and makes our LCM

2(2)(5)(2)(2)(3) = 240

This means every 240 seconds they will both be at the start line.

Since Ken completes a lap in 80 seconds, he completes 240/80 = 3 laps in 240 seconds.

Since Hamid completes a lap in 60 seconds, he completes 240/60 = 4 laps in 240 seconds.

Margaret [11]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that At the pet owner’s meeting, there are 20 people who own dog, and 35people who own cat and 9 people own goldfish. Some people own both catand dog and some people own both gold fish and cat. No dog owners owngoldfish. There are twice as many people who own both goldfish and catthan people who own both dog and cat.

Total no of people =52

The venn diagram attached gives a clear picture

assuming x to be owners of both dog and cat. Then 2x is for both goldfish and cats.

Totalling all mutually exclusive we get

64-3x=52

x=4

No of owners who own both cat and dog =4

One inlet pipe can fill an empty pool in 6 hours, and a drain can empty the pool in 12 hours. How long will it take the pipe to

Ainat [17]

Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open

1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe

1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain

1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open

Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x

Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain

2x - x = 12

x = 12 hours

Michael rotates ABC to form the image A'B'C'. The table shows the corresponding vertices for ABC and AA'B'C'. What degree of rot

babunello [35]

Answer:

90 degree rotation in the clockwise direction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Point A transforms to A'

- that is x coordinate: 2 ---> 3

and y coordinate 3 ---> -2

So the rotation is clockwise from Quadrant1 to Quadrant 4.

The slope of OA = 3/2 and the slope of OA' = -2/3.

The product of these slopes = 3/2 * -2/3 = -1 so the lines are perpendicular - that is the line has passed through an angle of 90 degrees.

A similar result occurs if we consider points B, C and D.
