Hello and Good Morning/Afternoon!
<u>Let's take this problem step-by-step</u>:
<u>What the problem asks for:</u>
⇒ to rationalize the denominator
⇒ rationalize means that you multiply the numerator and
demonimator by the denominator
<u>Let's put that into action</u>:
<== <u>Answer</u>

Hopefully that helps!
You need to find a common factor that both the
numerator
and denominator have. 16 and 12 have common divisible factors of 2 and 4(excluding 1, because 1 is self-defined but doesn't simplify values at all).
We use the highest factor, in this case, 4.
Divide 16 by 4 and 12 by 4.
16/4 = 4
12/4 = 3
We put 4 in place of the numerator and 3 in place of the denominator.
Answer:
59
Step-by-step explanation:
3x=177
3x represents the # of arrow he can shoot at once every time
177 represents the total # of arrow he has
