The denominator must be the same, so just think of the LEAST COMMON MULTIPLE, The LCM here is 8, because you can multiply 4 by 2 to get 8.
so when you multiply, you multiply both on the top and on the bottom, so this would be:
3 x 2 / 4 x 2 = 6 / 8
Now you can add or subtract: 6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8
A = P(1+r)^(t/5) A = 500000(1+0.05)^(15/5) A = 500000(1.05)^(15/5) A = 500000(1.05)^3 A = 500000*1.157625 A = 578812.5 Telling us that the population will be about 578,812 people in the year 2005
The answer would be SSS or Side-Side-Side.
The first one! It is using the distributive or associative property!
