Express the fractions 1/2, 3/16, and 7/8 with an LCD

You first need to find the LCD (lowest common denominator). You will need to find the smallest number that is a multiple of all numbers that is the denominator (2, 16, 8). Or, to say it another way, all the numbers in the denominator need to be a factor of this number. 

You can find this by first checking if the largest number that is the denominator-- in this case 16-- is already the LCD, which means 16 is divisible by all the other numbers. 

If this does not work, then multiply all the numbers together to get the LCD-- since you multiplied them together, you know that they will all be factors of the product. 

However, you will be able to see that 16 is indeed the lowest common denominator: 

2 × 8=16 

8 × 2=16 

16 × 1=16 

So, after you find the LCD, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the number that you would need to multiply the denominator to get the LCD (the whole point is that you want to get the denominator to be the LCD, but to do that you need to multiply both the top and bottom by the same number to keep the fraction the same). 

(1/2) x (8/8)= 8/16 

(3/16) x (1/1)= 3/16 

(7/8) x (2/2)= 14/16

Please help with areas
Softa [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7) The formula for determining the area of a parallelogram is expressed as

Area = base × height.

Length of base = Area/height

Therefore,

Length of base = 7/2 = 3.5 feet

8) The formula for determining the area of a trapezoid is expressed as

Area = 1/2(a + b)h

Where

a and b are the length of the bases

h is the height. Therefore

21 = 1/2(2 + 4)h

21 = 3h

h = 21/3 = 7 inches

9) Area = base × height.

Height = Area/Length of base

Height = 28/14 = 2 inches

10) a and b are 10 inches each.

Area = 1/2(a + b)h

Therefore,

35 = 1/2(10 + 10)h

35 = 10h

h = 35/10

h = 3 inches

Solve this system using matrices:
sweet [91]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A system of linear equations is one which may be written in the form

a11x1 + a12x2 + · · · + a1nxn = b1 (1)

a21x1 + a22x2 + · · · + a2nxn = b2 (2)

.

am1x1 + am2x2 + · · · + amnxn = bm (m)

Here, all of the coefficients aij and all of the right hand sides bi are assumed to be known constants. All of the

xi

’s are assumed to be unknowns, that we are to solve for. Note that every left hand side is a sum of terms of

the form constant × x

Solving Linear Systems of Equations

We now introduce, by way of several examples, the systematic procedure for solving systems of linear

equations.

Here is a system of three equations in three unknowns.

x1+ x2 + x3 = 4 (1)

x1+ 2x2 + 3x3 = 9 (2)

2x1+ 3x2 + x3 = 7 (3)

We can reduce the system down to two equations in two unknowns by using the first equation to solve for x1

in terms of x2 and x3

x1 = 4 − x2 − x3 (1’)

1

and substituting this solution into the remaining two equations

(2) (4 − x2 − x3) + 2x2+3x3 = 9 =⇒ x2+2x3 = 5

(3) 2(4 − x2 − x3) + 3x2+ x3 = 7 =⇒ x2− x3 = −1
