Basically you find the least possible denominator you can use to make both fractions have the same denominator. The LCD for 5 and 2 is ten because they’re multiplied together, so 1/5 would be 2/10 and 1/2 would be 5/10, if that makes sense. You multiply the numerator by whatever you multiply the denominator by. 2/3 could also be 4/6 or 8/12 or 200/300. The Lcd of 5/8 and 2/4 would be 8, since 5/8 can’t be simplified but 2/4 can be multiplied by 2 to get 4/8 to make the fractions easier to understand. Some fractions aren’t as easy to simplify like 5/19 and 3/26 would be 130/494, and 57/494 respectively. The LCD is just the two denominators multiplied together, as they don’t have any common factors except the numbers multiplied which is 494.

Answer:

Least common denominator is the lowest number in similarity that a fraction can share and be divided into

Step-by-step explanation:

For example, in this example 1/5, and 1/2 the least common denominator would be 10 because when putting these fractions together you might want to find the total of what they equal. For example, think of this example as a pizza, to make one whole pizza in the first one would be 5 pieces but instead of all five pieces, all you have left is 1 piece of the five. so you only have 1/5. now just imagine you had another pizza the same size of the first one but instead of five pieces you it's only two pieces however, from this two piece pizza all you have left is 1/2. You want to find the in terms of what fraction would make them both equal each other in which you would eventually be able to find out how much pizza you would have left.  The denominator is the lower number under the fraction where that is the one most needed for a fraction to change. The least common denominator is a number that goes into both fractions that in reverse can be divided by against each other. our denominators are 5 and 2. Numbers that are divisible are 10, 20, 40 and so on since 5x2=10, 2x5=10; 5x4=20, 2x10=20; 5x8=40, 2x20=40. The least common denominator would be the lowest number which in this case would be 10.

natta225 [31]

Answer:2/11

Step-by-step explanation:

A fraction is in simplest form when the top and bottom cannot be any smaller

Firstly start by getting the common factors between 1 and 4 in 1/4 and 11 and 8 in 11/8. The common factor is 1 in 1/4 and 1 in 11/8. 1÷1/4÷1= 1/4. 11÷1/8÷1 = 11/8.

1/4÷ 11/8 =2/11.

The total cost of attending a state university is $19,700 for the first year. • A student's grandparents will pay half of this c
Temka [501]

Answer:

The student will have to save $404.2 minimum monthly

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the total cost for the first year= $19,700

The grandparents paid half the amount = 1/2(19700)= $9850

The remaining balance to be paid is

19,700 - 9850=$9850

If an athlete paid $5000

The the remaining balance to be paid = 9850-5000=$4850

For the student to clear this amount in 12 months he must save

monthly 4850/12= $404.166

Hence the minimum amount to be saved per month is $404.2

Chase and Emily are buying stools for their patio. They are deciding between 333 heights (table height, bar height, and XL heigh
marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The sample space is:

  • (T,N): table height and brown
  • (T, W): table height and white
  • (T, K) : table height and black

  • (B, N): bar height and brown
  • (B, W): bar height and white
  • (B, K): bar height and black

  • (X, N): XL height and brown
  • (X, W): XL height and white
  • (W, K): XL height and black

Explanation:

The <em>sample space </em>is the set of all the possible outputs, i.e. the possible different combinations that can be choosen.

Use the letters T, B, and X to represent, respectively, table height, bar height, and XL height,

Use letters N, W, and K to represent, respectively, the colors brown, white and black.

Each combination consists of a height (T, B or X) and a color (N, W, K); thus, your sample space shall have 3 × 3 different combinations. These are:

  • (T,N): table height and brown
  • (T, W): table height and white
  • (T, K) : table height and black

  • (B, N): bar height and brown
  • (B, W): bar height and white
  • (B, K): bar height and black

  • (X, N): XL height and brown
  • (X, W): XL height and white
  • (W, K): XL height and black
