I think you want the least common multipule (exg LCM of 2,3,4 is 12)

so we find the factors and include all of them so like this

15=3 times 5
12=2 times 2 times 3
8=2 times 2 times 2

so to include all of them we include 3 2's, 1 3 and 1 5 or 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 5 or 8 times 15 or 4 times 30 or 120

the LCM is 120

so 4/15=32/120
1/12=10/120
3/8=45/120

add 32/120+10/120+45/120=(32+10+45)/120=87/120

The least common denominator would be the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, 15 12 and 8.

To find the LCM, multiply two of the numbers together and test to see if the third one divides evenly into it.

15 x 8 = 120

120 ÷ 12 = 10

Because all three numbers go evenly into 120 (and 120 is the smallest number for which that is true), the least common denominator would be 120.

A rug is shaped like a rectangle whose perimeter is 276276 ftft. the length is 5 times as long as5 times as long as the width. f
ArbitrLikvidat [17]
Width = w

Length = 5w

Given,

Perimeter = 276 ft

5w * w = 276

w² = 55.2

--- w = 7.429670248402684 ≈ 7.43 ft

--- l = 5w = 5*7.43 = <span>37.14835124201342 </span>≈ 37.15 ft

Ackie got 3 wrong out of 20 questions on her social studies quiz.What percent did she answer correctly on the quiz
taurus [48]

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

If she got 3 wrong then it means she got 20-3 right, so she got 17 questions right.

From there we get the fraction: 17/20

To make the a percentage we times both the top and bottom by 5 (because 20 x 5 = 100)

By doing that we get 17x5/20x5

= 85/100

That is equal to 85%
