Answer:

<em>When 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The Least Common Multiple ( LCM )

The LCM of two integers a,b is the smallest positive integer that is evenly divisible by both a and b.

For example:

LCM(20,8)=40

LCM(35,18)=630

Since Tom, Sam, and Matt are counting drum beats at their own frequency, we must find the least common multiple of all their beats frequency.

Find the LCM of 4,10,12. Follow this procedure:

List prime factorization of all the numbers:

4 = 2*2

10 = 2*5

12 = 2*2*3

Multiply all the factors the greatest times they occur:

LCM=2*2*3*5=60

Thus, when 60 beats are heard, Tom hits 15 snare drums, Sam hits 6 kettle drums, and Matt hits 5 bass drums.

At most, Alana can spend $40 on carnival tickets. Ride tickets cost $4 each, and food tickets cost $2 each. Alana buys at least

evablogger [386]

We can let r be the number of food tickets and f be the number of food tickets. Since Alana can spend at most $40, that means the total of price bought for r and f must be less than or equal to $40. In addition, since Alana buys at least 16 tickets, this also means that the total of r and f is 16. Mathematically, we have these inequalities: (1) 4r + 2f ≤ 40 and (2) r + f ≥ 16 Multiplying -2 in (2), we have 4r + 2f ≤ 40 -2r - 2f ≤ 32 Adding both inequalities, 2r ≤ 8 r ≤ 4 Since r must be less than or equal to 4.Thus the answer is <span>A.</span>

In △ABC, m∠ABC=40°,

Alchen [17]

Let m∠CLN = x. Then m∠ALM = 3x, and m∠A = 90°-x, m∠C = 90°-3x.

The sum of angles of ∆ABC is 180°, so we have

... 180° = 40° + m∠A + m∠C

Using the above expressions for m∠A and m∠C, we can write ...

... 180° = 40° + (90° -x) + (90° -3x)

... 4x = 40° . . . . . . . . . add 4x-180°

... x = 10°

From which we conclude ...

... m∠C = 90°-3x = 90° - 3·10° = 60°

The ratio of CN to CL is

... CN/CL = cos(∠C) = cos(60°)

... CN/CL = 1/2

so ...

... CN = (1/2)CL
