Okay, so to find like denominators you need to find a number that both denominators go into. For 15, they both go into 45. 9 goes in 5 times and 15 goes in 3 times. So multiply their numerators by 5 and 3. It would be 25/45 for 5/9 and it would be 12/45 for 4/15. Do the same for 16 and 17, for 16 they both go into 42 and for 17 they both go into 42.
From The picture 2 barrels = 73 gallons
Divide by 2 for gallons per barrel:
73/2 = 36.5 gallons per barrel
Multiply gallons per barrel barrels:
36.5 x 0.045 = 1.6425 gallons.
Rounded to 2 decimals = 1.64
60*.2= 12
$12 is off of the original price
now add to find original price
60+12= 72
So the regular price of the sweater is $72<span />
That would be d.
Remember, the distributive property is a(b+c) = ab +ac!
