Answer: 24 days
Step-by-step explanation:
Sandy plays tennis once every 6 six days while Jim plays tennis once every 8 eight days.
To get the number of days they will play on the same day again, we find the lowest common multiple for the numbers.
The lowest common multiple is the smallest positive integer which is evenly divisible by both 6 and 8.
6 = 6, 12, 24, 30
8 = 8, 16, 24, 32
The lowest common multiple is 24.
In 24 days, they will play on the same day again
Answer:
x=4
y=3
Step-by-step explanation:
Ok so this all about subtracting fractions this is what you want to do:
you can change 8 3/4 and 4 2/3 to have the same value and deominator
8 3/4 = 8 9/12(multiply both sides by 3)
4 2/3 = 4 8/12(multiply both sides by 4)
you do this because 12 is divisible by 3 and 4
then, subtract 4 8/12 from 8 9/12 because John is using some of the wood his dad gave him.
then subtract once again, taking 11/2 away from your difference.
again match the deominator of 11/2 to the deominator of your difference which should be 12. another divisible of 12 is 2 and 6.
11/2 = 66/12 = 5 6/12(multiply both the top and bottom by 6)
and start subtracting.
so John should have -1 5/12(?) wood left
3 1/2
2 1/4+ 1 1/4 = 3 2/4
or 3 1/2
