Given the fraction 5/12 and 9/16, the least common denominator can be get by giving the possible common multiples of 12 and 16.
12 = 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120
16 = 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, ...
So looking above, the common are 48 and 86 but the smallest is 48.
So the LCD is 48.
The expression:
gives the distance traveled by the aircraft in t hours, so, for t = 6:
Yeah so she spent half they year at the first one more than likely
<h3><u>The length is equal to 13.</u></h3><h3><u>The width is equal to 8.</u></h3>
l = 2w - 3
2l + 2w = 42
Because we have a value for l, we can plug it into the second equation to solve for w.
2(2w - 3) + 2w = 42
Distributive property.
4w - 6 + 2w = 42
Combine like terms.
6w - 6 = 42
Add 6 to both sides.
6w = 48
Divide both sides by 6.
w = 8
Now that we have a value for w, we can solve for the exact value of l.
l = 2(8) - 3
l = 16 - 3
l = 13
