1. find the LCD of 3 and 4 (12). so now your fractions are 5 4/12 and 3 9/12 perimeter is 2l + 2w so 2 (5 4/12) + 2( 3 9/12) = 10 4/12 + 7 6/12 = 17 10/12 or 17 5/6. this is reasonable because that the average perimeter of a sandbox. 2. LCD again is 12, so the fractions are 5 10/12 and 2 1/12. turn those into mixed fractions and get 70/12 and 25/12. 45/12 or 3 3/4. So she babysits 3 3/4 hours during the week. 3. The LCD for this is 8. now the fractions are 2/8 and 1 7/8 or 15/8. add 15/8 and 2/8 to get 17/8 or 2 1/8. He is using a total of 2 1/8 cups of flour. 4. 0.2 5. 0.054 6. 0.024
