No guarantee that there will enough hotdogs for the buns, we must find the common multiple between the usual number of hot dogs and buns in each package.

Since we're looking for the smallest common multiple between 8 and 10, we can use the method shown below to compute for the least common multiple. 

8 = 2³ 
10 = 2 x 5
LCM = 2³ x 5 = 40

To purchase 40 hot dogs and buns, you need to buy 5 packages of buns and 4 packages of hot dogs.

Answer:

Hotdog: 4 packages
Buns: 5 packages

The distance between New York and Philadelphia by railroad is 90 miles; the distance between them by river and ocean is 240 mile
VladimirAG [237]
Start with 90/240, then reduce the fraction
you can reduce by dividing each by 10 to get 9/24
reduce more from there, seeing that each number can be divided by 3
9/3  = 3
24/3 = 8
answer 3/8

Use the binomial theorem to show that 7^n + 2 is divisible by 3, where n is a positive integer.
masha68 [24]

By the binomial theorem,

7^n=(6+1)^n=6^n+n6^{n-1}+\dbinom n26^{n-2}+\cdots+\dbinom n{n-2}6^2+n6^1+1

Each term containing a factor 6 is divisible by 3, since 3 divides 6. The remaining 1 and 2 sum to 3, which is also divisible by 3.

Artist 52 [7]

Tran has a credit card with a spending limit of $2000 and an APR (annual percentage rate) of 12%. During the first month, Tran charged $450 and paid $150 of that in his billing cycle.

The expression which will find the amount of interest Tran will be charged after the first month is (0.01)(300)

Here 0.01 because it is 1 month tax. 300 is remaining amount as Tran used $450 but paid $150.
