Answer:

LCM(a, b) means the least common multiple between a and b.

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

Where GCF(a,b) =  greatest common factor between a and b.

Then the smallest common multiple between two prime numbers is the product between those prime numbers (Because the only common factor between prime numbers is 1).

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

Now, to find the values of a and b, we can divide 783 by different primes, and see when the quotient is an integer:

(I ignore the number 2 because 783 is not even, so i will start with the prime 3)

783/3 = 261

Then the two primes are 3 and 261

We also know that a > b

Then:

a = 261

b = 3.

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

The mean score of a competency test is 82, with a standard deviation of 2. Between what two values do about 99.7% of the values
goldenfox [79]
99.7% encompasses about 3 standard deviations either side of the mean.

82 ±3*2 = (76, 88)

About 99.7% of the values lie between 76 and 88.

Cynthia rounds a number, x,to one decimal place. the result is 6.3.
gladu [14]

The answer is: 6.25\leq6.3

The explanation is shown below:

1. Cynthia rounds the number, which is identified as x, to one decimal place and the result is 6.3.

2. Based on this, we know that x could have been between 6.25 and 6.35. Therefore, the error interval for x is given by:

 6.25\leq6.3

Where \leq indicates that the value 6.25 is included and indicates that the value 6.35 is not included (Because if x had been exactly 6.35, Cynthia would round up to 6.4).

If JK LM , which statement is true ?
siniylev [52]
The answer to this question would be: B. JK and LM meet at a right angle.

The reversed T symbol in this question means "perpendicular". That means the JK and LM line have 90-degree angle difference. A straight angle is 180 degree and right angle mean 90 degrees.
A perpendicular line should be in the same plane and intersect each other.
