Irst thought: since he needs 7 3/4 tons, and each load can carry LESS than a ton, he'll need to make MORE than 7 3/4 loads. So when you get your answer, make sure it it passes that common sense test. Next: He's got to divide the 7 3/4 ton total among all those loads, 3/4 ton at a time. So he needs to divide: 7 3/4 divided by 3/4. It will be easier to do the math if we turn 7 3/4 into an improper fraction, which will be 31/4. So we have to divide 31/4 divided by 3/4, which will give us 10, with 1/4 left over, for a total of 10 1/4 loads. BUT: the wording is that each load carries AT MOST 3/4 ton, so he may carry less than that amount in any given load(s). So he needs to do an amount GREATER THAN OR EQUAL TO 10 3/4 loads. For practical purposes, that means he has to fill his truck (at least part way) 11 different times. (Think of it as completely filled the first 10 times, and 3/4 filled on the 11th/final time.)
The answer is A. because the side lengths of the shape doesn't change. The side lengths are still 3 and 5.

Answer: The lowest common multiple of 12, 18, and 56 would be 504. Why? Well, see below for an explanation!
Step-by-step explanation: What is the lcm? Well, the lcm of two or more numbers is the lowest possible number that each number has in common as a multiple. Because we are dealing with large numbers, we can tell that the lcm will be a multiple of these numbers times at least 5. I multiplied all the numbers by 10, and it was too large and did not work. However, I backed up and tried 9.
56 x 9 = 504.
Why is this acceptable? Well, this is acceptable because I found that 504 can be divided by 12 and 18 both to get a whole number.
504 divided by 18 equals 28.
504 divided by 12 equals 42.
Using this principle, we will find that 504 is the lowest number that 12, 18, and 56 have in common.
Your final answer: 504 is the lowest common denominator. If you need extra help, let me know and I will gladly assist you.
