The first numerator is 3 and the second is 17 not 2
32 students choose a favorite topping for their slices.
Let x be the total number of students.
1/2 of the total students, or 1/2x, choose pepperoni.
1/4 of the total students, or 1/4x, choose extra cheese.
1/8 of the total students, or 1/8x, choose sausage.
4 students choose mushrooms.
We know that together, these equal the total number of students, x:
1/2x+1/4x+1/8x+4=x
We will use 8 as the common denominator:
4/8x+2/8x+1/8x+4=x
Combining like terms:
7/8x+4=x
Subtract 7/8x from both sides:
7/8x+4-7/8x=x-7/8x
4=1x-7/8x
4=1/8x
Divide both sides by 1/8:
4÷(1/8) = 1/8x÷(1/8)
4/1÷(1/8) = x
4/1×8/1 = x
32/1 = x
32 = x
120 barrels x 12 quarts per barrel = 1440 total quarts
1440 quarts / 11 quarts per hour = 130.91 hours to fill all the barrels
1 day = 24 hours
130.91 hours / 24 hours = 5.45 days = 5.5 days
<span>LCD(<span>115</span>, <span>95</span>, <span>38</span>) = LCM(15, 5, 8) = 23×3×5 = 120</span>
<span><span>115</span> = <span>8120</span></span><span><span>95</span> = <span>216120</span></span><span><span>38</span> = <span>45120

Yes because no same x-valu resulted in different y-values.
