Answer:

it is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

2 and 6 are the denominators and the least common denominator is the number in which 2 & 6 can go in without leaving a remender and 6 is that number

Answer:

The LCD of the fractions 1/6 and 1/2 is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCD of 2 or more fractions is the least common multiple of the denominators.

The given fractions are 1/2 and 1/6. The denominators are 2 and 6

List the multiples of each denominator:

Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, …

Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, 48, 54, ..

The least common multiple that the two share is 6.

So the LCD of 1/2 and 1/6 is 6.

Lara planted some seeds. For every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew.

Tresset [83]

Given:

For every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew.

Altogether, 12 seeds grew.

To find:

The number of total seeds planted by Lara.

Solution:

It is given that for every 3 seeds Lara planted, only 2 seeds grew. It means the ratio of total seeds planted to seeds grew is 3:2.

Altogether, 12 seeds grew.

Let x be the number of total seeds planted by Lara. Then,

$x:12=3:2$

$\dfrac{x}{12}=\dfrac{3}{2}$

$x=\dfrac{3}{2}\times 12$

$x=18$

Therefore, the total number of seeds planter by Lara is 18.

What does y equal ??!?!

garik1379 [7]

<h3>Answer: 658.3</h3>

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

Explanation:

The adjacent complementary angle to that 28 degree angle is 62 degrees because 62+28 = 90.

If the reference angle is the upper acute angle 62 degrees, then the y is the opposite leg and the side 350 is the adjacent leg.

Use the tangent ratio

tan(angle) = opposite/adjacent

tan(62) = y/350

350*tan(62) = y

y = 350*tan(62)

y = 658.254262871217

y = 658.3

all unicorns on rainbow island are either green or yellow. every time the clock strikes midnight the unicorns change their color

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

77 unicorns, because yesterday the ratio was 6:5 and today it is 3:4. If you add the numbers for both ratios together, you get 11 and 7. Finding the LCM of these two gives 77 (because 7 and 11 are both prime).

You find the LCM of the sums because when you find values based on ratios, you divide value by the sum of the ratio.

e.g. I have 100 fruits. The ratio of apples to oranges is 2:3. How many apples are there?

To solve this you'd add 2 and 3 (5), divide 100 by 5 (20), multiply that by 2 (40) because that's the ratio of apples to oranges.

In this case, you do the reverse. So If I have 77 unicorns, then yesterday there were (77/11 = 7, 7*6= 42, 7*5= 35) 42 green unicorns and 35 yellow. The sum of 42 and 35 is 77. If you do this process with the other ratio you'll get similar results as well.

a rectangular prism with a volume of 10 cubic units is filled with cubes with side lenghts of 1/2 unit how many 1/2 unit cubes d

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a cube is

V=s^3, we are told the volume is 10u^3 and that it will be filled with cubes having a side of 1/2 so

n(1/2)^3=10, where n will be the number of these small cubes

n(1/8)=10 upon multiplying each side by 8

n=80

So it will take 80 cubes of side length 1/2 to have a volume equal to 10u^3
