Answer:

LCM(a, b) signifies the least common multiple of the two numbers a and b.

LCM(a,b) = a*b/GCF(a,b)

Where GCF(a,b) represents the greatest common factor of a and b.

The smallest common multiple for two prime numbers is merely the product of those primes (because their only shared factor is 1).

LCM(a,b) = a*b = 783.

To determine the values of a and b, we can divide 783 by various primes to find when the result is an integer:

(Skipping 2 as 783 is odd, I'll start with 3)

783/3 = 261

Thus, the two primes identified are 3 and 261.

Given that a > b, we have:

a = 261

b = 3.

Calculating 2*a*b - 3*a gives 2*261*3 - 3*261 = 261*3*(2 - 1) = 261*3 = 783.

(1 point) Since 1966, 45% of the No. 1 draftpicks in the NBA have been centers. identify the population A. all No.1 draftpick ce
Zina [12379]

Response:

1 B

2 A

3 B

Detailed explanation:

1

The population refers to the entire sample from which part of the event is being analyzed. Essentially, in a set, the population includes everything collectively. From the provided statement, our goal is to identify the population. The population is B.

All NBA players since 1966. This selection is because it is from this set that the draft picks were chosen, ultimately narrowed down to 45% being center backs.

2

The specified attribute is A.

Being a No. 1 draft pick, as it's the central focus of the statement itself

3

B sample proportion. As mentioned earlier, the population consists of all NBA players since 1966, so a population proportion would contain a statement like this.

45% of all NBA players since 1966...

Consequently, it's a sample proportion since it pertains to the draft pick, as opposed to the NBA players

In the Ma-and-Pa grocery store, shelf-space is limited and must be used effectively to increase profit. Two-cereal items, Grano
Inessa [12570]
No. Allocate 2/3 of the space to Grano and 1/3 to Wheatie. This results in approximately 57% for Wheatie and 43% for Grano—meaning 60(.57)=34.2 ft² for Wheatie and 60(.43)=25.8 ft² for Grano. Therefore, there would be about 85.5 boxes of Wheatie and 129 boxes of Grano, leading to a total profit of 129(1)+85(1.35)=$243.75. The best choice would be to place 200 boxes of Grano and 50 boxes of Wheaties on the shelf. Allocating 40 ft² to Granos (200(.2)) and 20 ft² to Wheaties (50(.4)) means that 40/60=2/3=66.6% of the space would be for Granos, and 20/60=1/3=33.3% would be for Wheaties. The total profit would be 200(1)+50(1.35)=$267.5.
