To determine how many integers between 1 and 150 are divisible by both 4 and 5, calculate the common multiple of 4 and 5, which is 20. The integers divisible by 20 up to 150 are 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, and 140, totaling 7 integers. This exercise uses concepts of least common multiples and divisibility rules crucial in number theory .

The sum of two consecutive positive odd integers is always even because adding two odd numbers results in an even number (e.g., 1+3=4; 5+7=12). This property is utilized in mathematical proofs, such as proving the parity of integers and in various argument constructions about integer sequences .

The ratio 3 dm to 20 cm converts to 1.5:1 or 2:3 when both are converted to the same units, demonstrating understanding of metric conversions. Ratios in dimensions help compare scale and size in real-world applications, crucial in fields like engineering and manufacturing .

There are 11 prime numbers less than 37: 2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23, 29, and 31. This is relevant to number theory as prime numbers are the building blocks of all numbers, playing a crucial role in various fields, including cryptography and mathematics itself .

The original cost of the computer is P70,500. This is calculated by recognizing that P56,400 is 80% of the original price (100% - 20%), so dividing P56,400 by 0.8 equals P70,500. Understanding discounts is crucial in economics and consumer behavior, impacting price setting and consumption .

The interior angle of a regular pentagon is 108°, calculated by dividing the sum of interior angles of a pentagon (540°) by its five angles. Geometry uses such calculations for deriving properties and design patterns, fostering understanding of symmetry and structural properties in mathematics and architecture .

There are 120 different ways to arrange five distinct books on a shelf, calculated as 5! = 5 × 4 × 3 × 2 × 1 = 120. This demonstrates the basics of permutations, highlighting the arrangement's factorial growth as the number of items increases, a fundamental in combinatorics .

The sum of all prime numbers less than 12 is 28 (2 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 11 = 28). Calculating such sums is significant in mathematical concepts like the distribution of primes, which contributes to understanding complex number systems and theoretical computing .

To raise the mean from 58 to 60, add a number such that the new total divided by 13 equals 60. Current total: 58 * 12 = 696. Required total: 60 * 13 = 780. Thus, 780 - 696 = 84 should be added. This teaches mean calculation’s sensitivity to data outliers and the use of simple equations in data analysis .

The probability of getting a total of 10 or 12 is 1/9. There are 3 outcomes for 10: (4,6), (5,5), (6,4), and 1 outcome for 12: (6,6) out of 36 possible outcomes. This reflects predictive modeling’s reliance on probability distributions to forecast outcomes and behaviors in uncertain processes .
