Two gears in a machine are aligned by a mark drawn from the center of one gear to the center of the other. if the first gear has 24 teeth, and the second gear has 40 teeth, how many revolutions of the first gear are needed until the marks line up again?

5

Step-by-step explanation:

for the first gear

revolutions/teeth

1 / 24

2 / 48

3 / 72

4 / 96

5 / 120

6 / 144

for the second gear

revolutions/teeth

1 / 40

2 / 80

3 / 120

4 / 160

the two marks will meet after 120 teeth, 5 revolutions of the first gear and 3 revolutions of the second.

the way to get that amount of teeth is

the Least Common Multiple equals the product of all factors, but those factors who are repeted for both numbers should be only once.

120 teeth are 5 revolutions for gear1 and 3 por gear2

b. an equilateral triangle inscribed in a circle

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the figure of two circles having a triangle inside.

now, we know that,

"when a figure is lying inside an another figure, then the outside figure is known as circumscribed figure and the figure lying inside is referred to as the inscribed figure".

as we see that, the circles are containing the triangle completely.

thus, the circles are the circumscribed figures and the triangle is the inscribed figure.

hence, we get, 'an equilateral triangle is inscribed in a circle'.

answer: if you weigh 60 pounds on earth, on the moon you will weigh about 10 pounds. if you weigh 120 pounds on earth, you will weigh about 20 pounds on the moon. since weight is caused by the mass of two objects that are near each other, the bigger the objects, the more the force of gravity.
