Which is the least common denominator of 5/6 3/8

To find the least common denominator, or lcd, you have to find the least common multiple, or lcm. To do that you find the multiples of each number until they equal each other. I set up a chart like this,

6 -

8 -

and then I start listing multiples so,

6 - 6, 12, 18, 24,

8 - 8, 16, 24,

I stop after I find a number they are both equal to. So to get to that number I would multiply 8 by 3, and 6 by 4. This gives me 24 as the lcd. If you need the lcd to add the fractions together, then whatever you did to the bottom do to the top. So 5/6 would become 20/24 and 3/8 would become 9/24.

goldenfox [79]

Answer:

A) The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter is 54 feet

B) The total cost of fence is $432

C) The square feet of grass needed foe the total area is 180 square feet

D) The total cost of the project is $572

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The dimension of rectangular field

Length of rectangular field = L = 12 feet

width of rectangular field = w = 15 feet

The cost of grass per square foot = 50 cents = $0.5    ( ∵ 1 cents = $0.01 )

The cost of small fence = $8 per linear foot

Now, According to question

A ) Let The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter = A feet

∵ Perimeter of rectangular field = 2 × Length + 2 × width

Or, A = 2 × L + 2 × w

Or, A = 2 × 12 feet + 2 × 15 feet

Or, A = 24 feet + 30 feet

∴ A = 54 feet

So, The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter = A = 54 feet

B ) Let The total cost of fence = $B

So, The total cost of fence = The cost of small fence × perimeter of fence

i.e B = $8 × 54 feet

∴ B = $432

So,The total cost of fence = B = $432

C) Let the square feet of grass needed foe the total area = C square feet

∵The Area of rectangular fence = Length × width

Or, The square feet of grass needed foe the total area = Area of rectangular fence = L × w

i.e C = 12 feet × 15 feet

Or, C = 180 feet²

So,The square feet of grass needed foe the total area = C = 180 square feet

D) Let The total cost of grass = $D

∵ The cost of grass per square foot = $0.5

So,Total cost of grass = $0.5 × Area of fence

i.e D = $0.5 ×  180 feet²

Or, D = $90

So, The Total cost of grass = D = $90

E) Let the total cost of the project = $E

∵Mr. Jones spend additional $50 for tools

So, The total cost of the project =  money spent on tools + total cost of fence + Total cost of grass

i.e E = $50 + B + D

Or, E = $50 + $432 + $90

∴ E = $572

So, The total cost of the project = E = $572

Hence,

A) The total feet needed for the fence total perimeter is 54 feet

B) The total cost of fence is $432

C) The square feet of grass needed foe the total area is 180 square feet

D) The total cost of the project is $572  Answer

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

(-12, -1)

Step-by-step explanation:

(8, -1) => (-2/3x, f(-2/3x))

therefore

-2/3x = 8

x = 8 *-3/2

x = -12

f(-2/3x) = -1

therefore, the corresponding point is:

(-12,-1)
