Answer: 9/12, 2/12

Step-by-step explanation:

Start by writing multiples of 6 and 4

4: 4, 8, 12

6: 6, 12, 18

Did you see the multiple that both numbers have? Yup, it's 12. So that has to be your denominator for both fractions. This is because you have to have the <u>LEAST</u> COMMON Denominator (LCD). So both numbers have 12 in common as one of their multiples and, it's the least common one because there are no numbers that come before it that are common for both numbers. Now, you just have to change the denominators of both fractions into 12. To do that to 3/4, just multiply the top and bottom by 3 to get 9/12. To do that to 1/6, just multiply the top and bottom by 2 to get 2/12. Hope this helps!

NOTE: REMEBER THAT WHATEVER YOU DO TO THE TOP OF A FRACTION, YOU HAVE TO DO IT TO THE BOTTOM TOO (AND VICE VERSA)

Assume that the notation (a,r,s,t) means multiply q and r, then add the product to s and (2,6,4,8)+(4,7,2,6)? Please show work a

<h3>Answer: 7.0 (choice E)</h3>

=============================================

Work Shown:

$\perp (q,r,s,t) = \frac{qr + s}{t}\\\\\perp (2,6,4,8) = \frac{2*6 + 4}{8}\\\\\perp (2,6,4,8) = \frac{12 + 4}{8}\\\\\perp (2,6,4,8) = \frac{16}{8}\\\\\perp (2,6,4,8) = 2\\\\$

Let m = 2 so we can use this result later.

$\perp (q,r,s,t) = \frac{qr + s}{t}\\\\\perp (4,7,2,6) = \frac{4*7 + 2}{6}\\\\\perp (4,7,2,6) = \frac{28 + 2}{6}\\\\\perp (4,7,2,6) = \frac{30}{6}\\\\\perp (4,7,2,6) = 5\\\\$

Let n = 5 so we can use this result later.

Add the two results.

m+n = 2 + 5 = 7.0 is the final answer.

3 over eight people ride the bus in Mrs. Mulls class. If she has 24 students how many students ride the bus?

qaws [65]

I think you divide 24 by 8 which = 3 and then times 3•3 which equals 9 so I think that 9 students out of 24 ride the bus

John has 14 boxes of apples. Each box holds 10 apples. If 8 of the boxes are full, and 6 of the boxes are half full, how many ap

cestrela7 [59]

The 8 full boxes have 80 apples (8x10) and the 6 half boxes have 30 apples (6x5).
So: 80+30=110

Which symbol correctly compares these two fractions?<br> 4/7 and 8/16

WITCHER [35]

Answer: 4/7 > 8/16

Step-by-step explanation:

Draw each fraction on a fraction bar (similar to a Hersey's Bar each fraction bar being the same length just broken up differently to represent each fraction) and you will see that 4/7 is bigger than 8/16.
