One way to find the least common multiple of two numbers is to first list the prime factors of each number.
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
Then multiply each factor the greatest number of times it occurs in either number. If the same factor occurs more than once in both numbers, you multiply the factor the greatest number of times it occurs.
2: three occurrences
3: one occurrence
So, our LCM should be
2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24.
So, Marco can buy, at the very least, 24 beads of each color to have equal colors of beads.
Answer:
1/6 p -4/5
Step-by-step explanation:
- 2/3p + 1/5 - 1 + 5/6p
When I combine like terms, I put them next to each other.
- 2/3p + 5/6p+ 1/5 - 1
We need to get a common denominator of 6 for the p terms
-2/3 *2/2 p + 5/6 p
-4/6p + 5/6 p
1/6 p
We need to get a common denominator of 5 for the contant terms
1/5 - 1*5/5
1/5-5/5
-4/5
Substituting these in
2/3p + 5/6p+ 1/5 - 1
1/6 p -4/5
Answer: Jason likely MADE an error when working the equation in his notebook because ONLY THE Y-INTERCEPT MATCHES the slope and the y-intercept of the equation he wrote.
