If x is the least common multiple of the set {6, 8, 12} and y is the greatest common factor of the set {20, 42, 72), what is the value of x/y ?

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The least common multiple of {6,8,12} is 24. This can be intuitively figured by noting that any multiple of 12 is a multiple of 6 and that 12 is 1.5x larger than 8. That means we only have so multiple 12 by 2 and 8 by 3 for them to be equal. The GCF of {20,42,72} is 2 as the prime factorization of 20 is 2x2x5 and 42 is 2x3x7. That means even without having to check 72 (which is clearly even so 2 is a factor), we know that 2 is the greatest common factor that they could share. So X/Y = 24/2 = 12

step-by-step explanation:

from the sentence, "tomorrow morning, akiko will arrive an hour late" depicts a third person perspective because it doesn't use any pronoun to replace akiko, the subject of the sentence, and it is in singular form since akiko is only one person.
