What is 3/8 as an equivalent fraction with the LCM as the denominator?

tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

3/8 = 9/24

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we have a basic multiplication problem and finding the LCM of 8 and 3. The first step in this problem is finding the LCM of 3/8. The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24. So yay! we have the bottom half of our answer!

Ex.-

The LCM of 8 and 3 is 24.

So now we have to find an equivalent fraction. Since we already know that 8 (the denominator in the original equation) can be multiplied by 3 to equal 24, we use 3 (the numerator in the original equation) and multiply it by itself to get an equivalent fraction.

Ex.-

8 x 3 = 24

3 x 3 = 9

Now that we have our numerator and denominator, all we have to do now is put them together to get our answer.

Ex.-

9/24 (answer) = 3/8 (original equation)

Hopefully I could help! :)

Five years from now, the sum of the ages of a women and her daughter will be 40 years. The difference in their present age is 24

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

Her daughter is 3 years old now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Five years from now, the sum of the ages of a women and her daughter will be 40 years.

The difference in their present age is 24 years.

Now, to find how old is her daughter now.

Let the age of daughter be $x\ years$ .

And the age of mother be $y\ years$ .

According to question:

$(x+5)+(y+5)=40$

⇒ $x+y+10=40$

Subtracting both sides by 10 we get:

⇒ $x+y=30$

⇒ $x=30-y$ ............( 1 )

Now, as given in question:

The difference in their present ages is 24 years.

$x-y=24$

Putting the equation ( 1 ) in the place of $x$ we get:

⇒ $(30-y)-y=24$

⇒ $30-2y=24$

Moving variable on one side and the numbers on the other:

⇒ $30+24=2y$

⇒ $54=2y$

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

⇒ $27=y$

So, the age of the mother is 27 years.

Now, putting the value of $y$ in equation( 1 ) we get:

$x=30-27$

⇒ $x=3$

The age of daughter is 3 years.

Therefore, her daughter is 3 years old now.

Two part-time instructors are hired by the Department of Statistics and each is assigned at random to teach a single course in p

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

The probability that they will teach different courses is $\frac{2}{3}$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

Sample space is a set of all possible outcomes of an experiment.

In this case we will write the sample space in the form (x, y).

Here x represents the course taught by the first part-time instructor and y represents the course taught by the second part-time instructor.

Denote every course by their first letter.

The sample space is as follows:

S = {(P, P), (P, I), (P, S), (I, P), (I, I), (I, S), (S, P), (S, I) and (S, S)}

The outcomes where the the instructors will teach different courses are:

s = {(P, I), (P, S), (I, P),(I, S), (S, P) and (S, I)}

The probability of an events E is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of outcomes.

$P(E)=\frac{n(E)}{N}$

Compute the probability that they will teach different courses as follows:

$P(\text{Different courses})=\frac{n(s)}{n(S)}=\frac{6}{9}=\frac{2}{3}$

Thus, the probability that they will teach different courses is $\frac{2}{3}$ .
