What are the steps on finding common denominators. PLEASE HELP

Mathematics

Dmitrij [34]2 years ago

Step-by-step explanation:

to find a common denominator, you have to find a number that "works" with every other number.

for example, say you have

2/4 and 8/12

First you need to find the common factor between 4 and 12, so list all your fours

4, 8, 12, 16, 20

Now list all your twelves

12, 24, 36, 48, 60

to find the common factor you look at both your list of numbers and find one that's the same, sometimes it takes a long list of numbers to find the common factor, but you will run into one.

So by looking at our list we see that 4 and 12 share the common factor of 12. but since 8/12 already has a denominator of 12, we are going to leave it alone.

now think about what you would multiply 4 by, to get to 12. The answer is

4 x 3 = 12

to make the numerator correct, you multiply it by the same number you did 4, so since your faction is 2/4 you should do 2 x 3 = 6

now you have your answer,

2/4 and 8/12 turns into

6/12 and 8/12

and that's how you find it, let me know if you have questions :)

Which equation in point-slope form contains the point (–3, 5) and has slope –1? y + 3 = –1(x – 5) y – 5 = –1(x + 3) y – 3 = –1(x
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

y - 5 = -1(x + 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1) where m = slope and passing through point (x1 , y1)

In this case if the equation in point-slope form contains the point (–3, 5) and has slope –1 then the equation should be:

y - 5 = -1(x - (-3))

y - 5 = -1(x + 3)

Please help me with this problem I can’t figure it out
lina2011 [118]
What you need to do is give these problems a common denominator. Which makes 3/21 and14/21 respectively. Logically, you need to walk 4/21 of the trail. This can’t be simplified further.

Hank is throwing a surprise party. The party costs $20 per person. Create an equation and graph to represent the relationship be
o-na [289]

Answer: Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Cost of party per person = $20.

Let the number of friends be 'f'.

Let the cost of party be 'p'.

According to question, our equation becomes

p= 2f

So, if p = 100, then f = p/2 = 100/2 = 50 if f = 10, then, p = 2f = 2 • 10 = 20 If p = 300 then, f = 300/2 = 150, If f = 20, then, p = 2f = 2 • 20 = 40 So, Table as follows:

Number of friends cost of party

50 100

10 20

150 300

20 40
