Answer:

24 does not work as a common denominator because it is not the Lowest Common Multiple of 6, 4 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In that above question, we are told that:

A student is trying to find the sum of 5/6 + 3/4 + 1/5

Step 1

The first step would be to find the Lowest Common Multiple of the denominators (6, 4, 5).

Lowest Common Multiple can be defined as the number that is the lowest quantity of the multiple of 2 or 3 number.

The lowest common multiple for 6, 4, 5 = 60. This is that number that the 3 denominators can be divided in

Hence,

5/6 + 3/4 + 1/5

= 5 × 10 + 3 × 15 + 12× 1/60

= 50 + 45 + 12/60

= 107/60

= 1 47/60

24 does not work because it is not the Lowest Common Multiple of 6, 4 and 5.

The lowest common multiple for the 3 denominators = 60, therefore 60 should be used.

Ede4ka [16]
Add all bead colors up

42+28+12+18=100

add up yellow and green

42+28=70

now find out how many beads are not yellow or green by subtracting that from 100

100-70=30

so the first answer is 30/100 -> 3/10 -> 30%

now add up red and green beads

28+18=46

so your next answer is

46/100 -> 23/50 -> 46%

The diameter of the larger circle is 10.5 cm. The diameter of the smaller circle is 4.5 cm. What is the approximate area of the
zepelin [54]
Area of the shaded region=area of the larger circle - area of the smaller cirlce.

1) we calculate the area of the larger circle.
diameter=10.5 cm
radius=diameter / 2=10.5 cm/2=5.25 cm
area=πr²=π(5.25 cm)²=27.5625π cm²

2) we calculate the area of the smaller circle:
diameter=4.5 cm
raduys=diameter / 2=4.5 cm/2=2.25 cm
area=πr²=π(2.25 cm)²=5.0625π cm²

3) we calculate the area of the shaded region.
area of the shaded region=27.5625π cm² - 5.0625π cm²=22.5π cm².
22.5π cm²=22.5(3.141592654...) cm²≈70.69 cm²

Answer : 22.5π cm²          or 70.69 cm²
