There are two cameras that take pictures of a traffic intersection. Camera A starts taking pictures at 6 AM and takes a picture every 11 minutes. Camera B starts taking pictures at 7 AM and takes pictures every 7 minutes. Camera A and Camera B take a picture at the same time at four different times before noon. When Camera A and Camera B take their last picture together, how many minutes before noon is it?

41 minutes before noon

Step-by-step explanation:

The given parameters are;

The time camera A starts taking pictures = 6 AM

The frequency of picture taking by camera A = Once every 11 minutes

The time camera B starts taking pictures = 7 AM

The frequency of picture taking by camera B = Once every 7 minutes

The number of times both cameras take a picture at the same time before noon = 4 times

Let the time the two cameras first take a picture the same time be x, we have;

11·y - 60 = x

7·z  = x

Taking the number of times after 7 camera A snaps and noting that the first snap is 6 minutes after 7, we have

11·b + 6  = x

7·z = x

x is a factor of 7 and 11·b + 6 and x is some minutes after 7

By using Excel, to create a series of values for Camera A based,  on 11·b + 6, and dividing the results by 7 we have the factors of 7 at;

28, 105, 182, and 259 minutes after 7

Given that there are 60 minutes in one hour, we have;

259/60 = 4 hours 19 minutes, which is 11:19 a.m. or 41 minutes before noon.

example 2 – simplify: step 1: completely factor both the numerators and denominators of all fractions. step 2: change the division sign to a multiplication sign and flip (or reciprocate) the fraction after the division sign; essential you need to multiply by the reciprocal. step 3 : cancel or reduce the fractions.

total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is $98

step-by-step explanation:

given a united states citizen returning to the states declares the following items at the customs office: 3 shirts at $8.50 each 2 dresses at $27.50 each 1 pair of gold cuff links at $17.50 per pair. we have to find how much he pay

cost of 3 shirts if one cost at $8.50 is

cost of 2 dresses if one cost at $27.50 is  

cost of 1 pair of gold cuff at $17.50

so, total amount of money that he should pay if he has not used his duty free exemption is   $25.5+$55+$17.50=$98
