Multiply by the product of the denominators. Here, that is 2*3 = 6.

___
The above approach always works. You likely have been told to multiply by the least common denominator, which in this case is the same thing.

If you don't take the trouble to find the least common denominator, at some point you will be factoring out a common factor. (You may be doing that anyway.)

3(x -4) = 2x +12
x = 24</span>

Jim drove 605 miles in 11 hours. At the same rate, how many miles would he drive in 13 hours?
svlad2 [7]

Answer: 715 Miles


Step-by-step explanation:

Divide 605 miles by 11 hours, which would give you how far he travels in 1 hour. (605/11=55)  Since they give you 13 hours, multiply 13 hours by 55 miles which gets you 715 miles :)

A researcher is interested in determining if the more than two thirds of students would support making the Tuesday before Thanks
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

The null hypothesis is, {H₀}: p = 0.66, H₀: p = 0.66 .

The alternative hypothesis is, {Hₐ}: p > 0.66, Hₐ​: p > 0.66

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the proportion of students who are supportive of making the day before Thanksgiving a holiday.

Since two populations are considered, the alternative hypothesis for the difference of the means of the two populations has to be stated.

The proportion of two-third students are supportive of making the day before Thanksgiving a holiday is p = 0.66 obtained as shown below:

The null hypothesis is,

{H₀}:p = 0.66, H₀​: p = 0.66

The alternative hypothesis is,

{Hₐ:p > 0.66, Ha​: p > 0.66

The null hypothesis is, {H₀}: p = 0.66, H₀: p=0.66 .

The alternative hypothesis is, {Hₐ}: p > 0.66, Hₐ​: p > 0.66
