The least common denominator of 11/8 and 1/12 is 24. Since 24 is divisible by 12, as well as the number 8. Wherein, each answers will result to a whole number. Being, 24/8 is equal to 3 and 24/12 is equal to 2.
Answer: 21 & 18
Step-by-step explanation:
Sum of two numbers is 39
Difference is 3
Let the numbers be x & y
X+y=39........equation 1
X-y=3...........equation 2
X=3+y............equation 3
Substitute equation 3 into equation 1
(3+y)+y=39
3+y+y=39
3+2y=39
2y=39-3
2y=36
Y=36/2
Y=18
Substitute for y in equation 2
X-y=3
X-18=3
X=3+18
X=21
The two numbers are 21 & 18
To solve, we need to subtract from these two fractions. In order to do this, we will change one of them to have the same denominator as the other.
We have 5/14 and 1/7
Let us change 1/7
Multiply 2/2 (a form of 1 so it does not change the value of the fraction)
2/2 • 1/7 = 2/14
Now subtract from 5/14
5/14 - 2/14 = 3/14
ANSWER: Vicky ran 3/14 of a mile more
Average speed = total miles driven / total driving time
average speed = (150 + 100) / (3 + 1 1/2) =
250 / (4 1/2) =
250 / (9/2) =
250 * 2/9 =
500 / 9 = 55.55 mph
2. I think the answer is 24
subracting the last 2 inequalities we get
6x + 7y <= 42
3x + 2y <= 18 subtract:_-
3x + 5y <= 24
