3/12 ; 1/6 ; 1/3

Adam must first get the least common multiple of each denominator.

12 : 12, 24, 36
  6 :  6, 12, 18
  3 :  3, 6, 9, 12

12 is the least common denominator. 

We, then, multiply each denominator by a number that will produce 12.

12 x 1 = 12
6 x 2 = 12
3 x 4 = 12

Each number multiplied to the denominator must be the number used to multiply each numerator.

3/12 * 1/1 = 3/12
1/6 * 2/2 =   2/12
1/3 * 4/4 =   4/12

Since they now share a common denominator, the numerator will become the basis of the fraction's value. The greater the numerator, the greater the fraction's value.

Fractions in order from least to greatest = 2/12 ; 3/12 ; 4/12

Substitute each fraction with its original fraction:
2/12 ⇒ 1/6   : least

3/12 ⇒ 3/12 : middle
4/12 ⇒ 1/3   : greatest

3(x + 4) = 3x + 12 solve for x
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

all real numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, distribute 3 to all terms within the parenthesis:

3(x + 4) = 3(x) + 3(4) = 3x + 12

3x + 12 = 3x + 12

Because both sides are the same, your answer for x is "all real numbers".

The distance between two cities is 145 miles. A truck can cover this distance in 2.5 hours. The speed of a car is 1.5 times fast
iren2701 [21]
The truck can cover 145 miles in 2.5 hours, so the speed of the truck is 
145÷2.5=58 miles per hour
the car's speed is 1.5 times faster: 58×1.5=87 miles per hour
suppose in x hours they will meet:
distance covered by truck in x hour: 58x
distance covered by car in x hour: 87x
total distance: 145 miles
58x+87x=145
x=1
