3/4 and 1/3
4x3 = 12 that will be the common denominator.
For 3/4 we first divide 12/4 = 3 and then multiply 3 x3 = 9 that's the numerator
For 1/3 we first divide 12/3 = 4 and then multiply 1x4 = 4 that's the numerator
The fractions will be rewrited as: 9/12 and 4/12
If you know how to solve word problems involving the sum of consecutive even integers, you should be able to easily solve word problems that involve the sum of consecutive odd integers. The key is to have a good grasp of what odd integers are and how consecutive odd integers can be represented.
Odd Integers
If you recall, an even integer is always 22 times a number. Thus, the general form of an even number is n=2kn=2k, where kk is an integer.
So what does it mean when we say that an integer is odd? Well, it means that it’s one less or one more than an even number. In other words, odd integers are one unit less or one unit more of an even number.
Therefore, the general form of an odd integer can be expressed as nn is n=2k-1n=2k−1 or n=2k+1n=2k+1, where kk is an integer.
Observe that if you’re given an even integer, that even integer is always in between two odd integers. For instance, the even integer 44 is between 33 and 55.
Answer: 36 shirts and costs $432
step by step:
first make an equation with the amount of sold shirts being equal to cost of making them -
12x=10x+72 where x is the number of shirts
then, subtract 10x from 12x to get the variable on the same side -
2x=72
finally, divide by 2 to isolate x
x=36 shirts
to figure out the cost, substitute 36 for x in 10x+72
10(36)+72= 360+72= $432
