The least common denominator is the Least Common Multiple (LCM) of the divisors 3 and 4. Since these numbers have no common factors, their LCM is
... 3·4 = 12
The least common denominator of your fractions is 12.
... 1/3 = (1/3)·(4/4) = 4/12
... 3/4 = (3/4)·(3/3) = 9/12
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(to other people who look this up the answer is actually 318 i dont know, but i got it wrong
Multiply the rate per hour by the number of hours (n) and add the deposit.
A)
Bike shop x: c = 2.75n + 3.00
Bike shop z: c = 1.75n + 7.00
B) to find when they will cost the same set the equations equal to each other and solve for n:
2.75n + 3.00 = 1.75n + 7.00
Subtract 3 from each side:
2.75n = 1.75n + 4.00
Subtract 1.75n from both sides:
1.00n = 4.00
Divide both sides by 1:
n = 4 hours
