Answer: 1

Step-by-step explanation: 1 Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of \frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{3}, \frac{1}{6}, \frac{1}{8}, \frac{1}{8}

 ,

 .

Method 1: By Listing Multiples

List out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one.

Multiples of 4 : 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, ...

Multiples of 3 : 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, ...

Multiples of 6 : 6, 12, 18, 24, ...

Multiples of 8 : 8, 16, 24, ...

Therefore, the LCD is 2424.

Method 2: By Prime Factors

List all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes.

Prime Factors of 4 : 2, 2

Prime Factors of 3 : 3

Prime Factors of 6 : 2, 3

Prime Factors of 8 : 2, 2, 2

Therefore, the LCD is 2\times 2\times 2\times 3=242×2×2×3=24.

LCD = 2424

2 Make the denominators the same as the LCD.

\frac{1\times 6}{4\times 6}+\frac{1\times 8}{3\times 8}+\frac{1\times 4}{6\times 4}+\frac{1\times 3}{8\times 3}+\frac{1\times 3}{8\times 3}

5 Simplify.

\frac{24}{24}

What is the difference in length between a 1 1/4 inch button and a 3/8 inch button?

charle [14.2K]

1 1/4= 1*4+1 /4. Or 5/4

In order to subtract you must have same denominator. 5/4 -3/8

Multiply 5/4 times 2/2. =. 10/8. -3/8

The difference is 7/8

Semicircles

Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

The area of the shaded portion of the figure is $9.1\ cm^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

The shaded area is equal to the area of the square less the area not shaded.

There are 4 "not shaded" regions.

step 1

Find the area of square ABCD

The area of square is equal to

$A=b^2$

where

b is the length side of the square

we have

$b=4\ cm$

substitute

$A=4^2=16\ cm^2$

step 2

We can find the area of 2 "not shaded" regions by calculating the area of the square less two semi-circles (one circle):

The area of circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

The diameter of the circle is equal to the length side of the square

$r=\frac{b}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2\ cm$ ---> radius is half the diameter

substitute

$A=\pi (2)^{2}$

$A=4\pi\ cm^2$

Therefore, the area of 2 "not-shaded" regions is:

$A=(16-4\pi) \ cm^2$

and the area of 4 "not-shaded" regions is:

$A=2(16-4\pi)=(32-8\pi)\ cm^2$

step 3

Find the area of the shaded region

Remember that the area of the shaded region is the area of the square less 4 "not shaded" regions:

$A=16-(32-8\pi)=(8\pi-16)\ cm^2$

---> exact value

assume

$\pi =3.14$

substitute

$A=(8(3.14)-16)=9.1\ cm^2$

Name the place value to which each number was rounded 0.982to 0.98

Kryger [21]

The Hundredths place because 2 is in the thousandths place. 5 or more change the score, 4 or less let it rest. 8 remained the same because 2 is less than 4.
