In this problem, we want to write equivalent fractions that share a common denominator.

To find the common denominator, we need to find the lowest common multiple of the denominator for each fraction. So, we need to find the LCM (lowest common multiple) for 4, 2, and 9.

One method is to list multiples of each number until you find one that works. My advice is to start with the largest number, as the lists of smaller numbers can get pretty long.

Let's list the first five multiples of 9:

9,18,27,36,45

We see that 9 is not a multiple of 2 or 4.

We see that 18 is a multiple of 2 (2 times 9), but not 4.

As we move through the list, we can check the multiples until it works. In this case, 36 is our common multiple:

\begin{gathered} 2\cdot18=36 \\ 4\cdot9=36 \end{gathered}

Now we want to rewrite each of our fractions using 36 as our denominator.

\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{4}\rightarrow\frac{?}{36} \\  \\ \frac{1\cdot9}{4\cdot9}=\frac{9}{36} \end{gathered}

Next, we'll do 1/2:

\begin{gathered} \frac{1}{2}\rightarrow\frac{?}{36} \\  \\ \frac{1\cdot18}{2\cdot18}=\frac{18}{36} \end{gathered}

Finally, we'll find the last fraction for 7/9:

\begin{gathered} \frac{7}{9}\rightarrow\frac{?}{36} \\  \\ \frac{7\cdot4}{9\cdot4}=\frac{28}{36} \end{gathered}

So now we have all our equivalent fractions for 1/4, 1/2, and 7/9.

\frac{1}{4}=\frac{9}{36}\frac{1}{2}=\frac{18}{36}\frac{7}{9}=\frac{28}{36}

What is the volume of the pyramid?
k0ka [10]

Answer:

The volume of the rectangular pyramid is 80cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of a rectangular pyramid we have to use the following formula:

v = volume

w = width = 8 cm

l = length = 6 cm

h = height = 5 cm

v = (w * l * h) / 3

we replace the values that ​​we know        

v = (8cm * 6cm * 5 cm) / 3

v = 80cm³

The volume of the rectangular pyramid is 80cm³

Six hundred paving stones were examined for cracks, and 20 were found to be cracked. The same 600 stones were then examined for
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

a) probability that is cracked=1/30 (3.33%)

b) probability that is discoloured = 29/600 (4.83%)

c) probability that is cracked and discoloured =  11/600 (1.83%)

Step-by-step explanation:

assuming that each stone is equally likely to be chosen then defining the events C= the stone is cracked , D= the stone is discoloured , N= the stone is neither cracked or discoloured, then

P(C)= number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes = 20 stones/600 stones = 1/30 (3.33%)

P(D)= number of favourable outcomes/total number of outcomes = 29 stones/600 stones = 29/600 (4.83%)

the probability that is discoloured and cracked is P(C∩D) , where

P(C∪D)=P(C) + P(D)-P(C∩D)

and

P(C∪D)= 1- P(N)

thus

1- P(N)=P(C) + P(D)-P(C∩D)

P(C∩D)= P(N)+P(C)+P(D) -1

replacing values

P(C∩D)= P(N)+P(C)+P(D)=562/600 + 20/600 + 29/600 -1= 611/600 -1 = 11/600

thus

P(C∩D)=  11/600 (1.83%)
