Answer: 1/4 = 3/12 , 1/6 = 2/12

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>To find equivalent fractions with a common denominator, we have to calculate the least common multiple of the denominators which is called the Least Common Denominator (</em><em>LCD</em><em>). </em>

<em>First we have to list the prime factors of each denominator:</em>

4: 2 x 2

6: 2 x 3

<em>Then we have to multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, we multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs. </em>

2: two occurrences

3: one occurrence

LCM(4,6) = 2 x 2 x 3 = 12 ◄LCD

<em>Now we can find equivalent fractions with this LCD .</em>

<em>For each fraction, we have to determine the number needed to multiply the denominator to get the LCD. Then have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by that number: </em>

LCD/4 = 12/4 = 3

1/4 = 3x1/3x4 = 3/12

LCD/6 = 12/6 = 2

1/6 = 2x1/2x6 = 2/12

Answer: 1/4 = 3/12 , 1/6 = 2/12

Explain why a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function. Be sure to use the definition of a function

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Explanation:

A function is a relationship where any one x-value/input only has <u>one </u>corresponding y-value/output. (note: a y-value can have multiple x-values).

> This can be called "assigning one y-value to every x element".

The vertical line test places a line that would connect all y-values of an x-value (that is, if it were to have multiple y-values). If multiple points can be found along the vertical line, it is, therefore, by the definition of a function, not a function. (Because an x-value will have more than one y-value).

So, a graph that fails the vertical-line test does not represent a function because an x-value will correspond with more than one y-value.

hope this helps!!

What is the probability that a number selected at random from the set {2, 3, 7, 12, 15, 22, 72, 108} will be divisible by both 2

Dimas [21]

Find how many numbers are divisible by two and three, then place that number above the total number of items in the set as a fraction. Like this:
$\frac{Total-numbers -divisible-by-2-and-3}{Total-numbers-in-set}$

The expression 3t gives the number of tickets a player wins if he shoots the ball in the hoop t times. How many tickets would a

kari74 [83]

Answer: 48 tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the expression that gives the number of tickets a player wins if he shoots the ball in the hoop t times is expressed as 3t.

Therefore, the number of tickets that a player wins if he shoots the ball in the hoop 16 times will be:

= 3t

where,

t = 16

Therefore, 3t = 3 × 16 = 48

The player wins 48 tickets.

6x+18y=18 find y and z

Masja [62]

6x + 18y = 18. Let us take x = 0

6(0) + 18y = 18

0 + 18y = 18

18y = 18

y = 18/18

y = 1

(0, 1) [x = 0, y = 1]

6x + 18y = 18. Let us take y = 0

6x + 18(0) = 18

6x + 0 = 18

6x = 18

x = 18/6

x = 3

(3, 0) [x = 3, y =0]

Infinite solutions can be found for x and y
