You first need to find the LCD (lowest common denominator). You will need to find the smallest number that is a multiple of all numbers that is the denominator (2, 16, 8). Or, to say it another way, all the numbers in the denominator need to be a factor of this number.
You can find this by first checking if the largest number that is the denominator-- in this case 16-- is already the LCD, which means 16 is divisible by all the other numbers.
If this does not work, then multiply all the numbers together to get the LCD-- since you multiplied them together, you know that they will all be factors of the product.
However, you will be able to see that 16 is indeed the lowest common denominator:
2 × 8=16
8 × 2=16
16 × 1=16
So, after you find the LCD, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the number that you would need to multiply the denominator to get the LCD (the whole point is that you want to get the denominator to be the LCD, but to do that you need to multiply both the top and bottom by the same number to keep the fraction the same).
(1/2) x (8/8)= 8/16
(3/16) x (1/1)= 3/16
(7/8) x (2/2)= 14/16
Answer:
61
Step-by-step explanation:
(x2-x1)2 + (y2-y1)2
(5-0)2 + (-3-3)2
25+36= 61
square root of 61
Answer:
Explanation:
While solving literal equations could be quite overwelhming, simply solve it by using normal equation solving methods.
For example, if you were to solve 2x + 3 = 9
You would add 3 on both sides and divide both sides by 2 to determine x.
Do the same thing for literal equations, and if in doubts, plug in numbers to check your work.
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, add c on both sides, we do this because we are aiming to eliminate the c from both sides.
a+c =2b
In order to find the value of b, divide both sides by 2, we do this because we want to get rid of the coefficient.
This should leave you with the answer of b=a/2 + c/2
Answer:
$4.42
Step-by-step explanation:
by combining $8.33 and $2.25 you get a combined total of $10.58 and if you subtract that from $15 you get $4.42 as the amount of money remaining.
