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.

Please help, I’m very confused

snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

1st picture: (0,4)

The lines intersect at point (0,4).

2nd picture: Graph D

2x ≥ y - 1

2x - 5y ≤ 10

Set these inequalities up in standard form.

y ≤ 2x + 1

-5y ≤ 10 - 2x → y ≥ -2 + 2/5x → y ≥ 2/5x - 2

When you divide by a negative number, you switch the inequality sign.

Now you have:

y ≤ 2x + 1

y ≥ 2/5x - 2

Looking at the graphs, you first want to find the lines that intersect the y-axis at (0, 1) and (0, -2).

In this case, it is all of them.

Next, you would look at the shaded regions.

The first inequality says the values are less than or equal to. So you look for a shaded region below a line. The second inequality says the values are greater than or equal to. So you look for a shaded region above a line.

That would mean Graph B or D.

Then you look at the specific lines. You can see that the lower line is y ≥ 2/5x - 2. You need a shaded region above this line. You can see the above line is y ≤ 2x + 1. You need a shaded region below this line. That is Graph D.

Jamal is making two paintings using canvases that are similar rectangles. The length of the smaller canvas is 3 ft and the width

Alex787 [66]

Let's start with what we know:

Smaller canvas:
Length ( $L_{1}$ ) = 3ft
Width ( $W_{1}$ ) = 5ft

Larger canvas:
Length ( $L_{2}$ ) = ?
Width ( $W_{2}$ ) = 10ft

Since these are similar rectangles, we can cross-multiply to calculate the missing length. Here's that formula:

$\frac{ L_{1} }{ L_{2} } = \frac{ W_{1} }{ W_{2} }$
So let's plug it all in from above:

$\frac{ 3 }{ L_{2} } = \frac{ 5 }{ 10 }$
Now we cross multiply by multiplying the top-left by the bottom-right and vice versa:

$(3)(10) = (5)(L_{2})$
$30 = 5L_{2}$
Now divide each side by 5 to isolate $L_{2}$

$\frac{30}{5} = \frac{ 5L_{2}}{5}$
The 5s on the right cancel out, leaving us with:

$6 = L_{2}$

So the length of the larger canvas is 6 ft
