Set up a ratio...6/18=x/27...reduce to 1/3=x/27...cross multiply and solve for x.
3x=27 so x=9
G=gas
w=bottle of water
8g + 2w = 29
12g + 4w = 45
I'm going to use elimination to cancel out the variable w by multiplying the first equation by -2.
-16g - 4w = -58
12g + 4w = 45
-4g = -13
/-4 /-4
g = 3.25
Now plug it into an equation, any equation.
8 (3.25) + 2w = 29
26 +2w=29
w=1.5
Now to check, plug it into both equations if you want.
12 (3.25) + 4 (1.5)=45
39 + 6=45
One bottle of water is $1.50, while one gallon of gas is $3.25.
Answer:
<h2>LCD = 9</h2>
Equivalent Fractions with the LCD
1/3 = 3/9
5/9 = 5/9
Solution:
Rewriting input as fractions if necessary:
1/3, 5/9
For the denominators (3, 9) the least common multiple (LCM) is 9.
LCM(3, 9)
Therefore, the least common denominator (LCD) is 9.
Calculations to rewrite the original inputs as equivalent fractions with the LCD:
1/3 = 1/3 × 3/3 = 3/9
5/9 = 5/9 × 1/1 = 5/9
