Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To write fractions with a common denominator, you will most likely need to scale some numbers up! I will explain how.
Let's try it with the fractions
2
3
and
3
12
12 is larger than 3, so we will have to multiply the 3 by some number to equal 12. (We are really finding the Least Common Multiple of the two denominators!) To do this, you have to multiply the 3 by 4, because 3x4=12. But now the numerator doesn't match the denominator. When you scale the denominator up, you have to scale the numerator up too! So the 2 must be multiplied by 4 also.
Now you have the following:
8
12
and
3
12
These fractions now have common denominators! Now they're all set for adding or subtracting fractions.
Try another:
2
6
and
3
5
: The least common multiple of 6 and 5 is 30. (the product of the denominators)
Transform each fraction by multiplying by "1":
2
6
⋅
5
5
=
10
30
and
3
5
⋅
6
6
=
18
30
One last problem:
4
9
and
7
6
What is the least common multiple of 9 and 6? Could you use 54? Absolutely, but it is not the LEAST number that you could use. How about 18? YES!
4
9
⋅
2
2
=
8
18
and
7
6
⋅
3
3
=
21
18

Answer:
116 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this by first writing an equation for the cost of the car rental. To begin, the base cost is $17.95, so any further costs must be added to that. Next, the car costs 19 cents (0.19 dollars) for each mile driven, so for each mile, we add 19 cents. This can be written as 0.19 *x if x represents the amount of miles driven. Therefore, we can add the two input costs of the car (the base cost and cost per mile) to get
17.95 + 0.19 * x = total cost.
After that, we want to maximize x/the number of miles with only 40 dollars. We can do this by setting this equal to the total cost, as going over the total cost is impossible and going under would be limiting the amount of miles (this because we are adding money for each mile, so more money means more miles). Therefore, we have
17.95 + 0.19 * x = 40
subtract 17.95 from both sides to isolate the x and its coefficient
22.05 = 0.19 * x
divide both sides by 0.19 to isolate x
22.05/0.19 = x = 116.05
The question asked us to round down, and 116.05 rounded down is 116 for our answer
