lowest common denominator

the smallest number, other than zero, that can be the denominator for two or more common fractions

3/4 is how many times greater than 1/2?

3/4=1/2X X=3/4 / 1/2 X=3/4x2/1 x=6/4=11/2 11/2

average 5 day rainfall was 1.25 in. someone lost the record for the 5th day after average was calculated. if days 1-4 were recorded as 1.5, 0.5, 2, 0.75 then what was the rainfall for day 5?

(1.5+0.5+2.0+.75+x)÷5=1.25 (4.75+x)÷5=1.25 4.75+x=6.25 x=6.25-4.75 x=1.5

meter to centimeter

1 m = 100 cm

find original price (sale price was 320, what was original price without 4% discount?)

100%-4%=96% 96%=.96 320=.96C 320/.96=C C=333.33333 or ~$333

millimeter to meter

1000 mm = 1 m

60 bushes sold. three times as many pink compared to yellow. how many yellow were sold?

60=3y+y 60=4y 60/4=y y=15

Finding percent of a number (20% of 80)

Change the percent to a fraction or decimal and multiply Example: What is 20% of 80? 20/100 x 80 = 1600/100 = 16 or .20 x 80 = 16.00 = 16

The price of a 20" television changed from $450 to $400. Find the percentage change in price.

Correct answer: -11% Change in price: 450 - 400 = 50 To determine the percentage change, divide the change in price by the initial price: 50 = 0.1111 450 Multiply by 100 to determine the percentage: 0.1111 × 100 = 11.11% Because the price decreased, the change in price is negative: -11.11%, or about -11%

Determine the product of (2x/3 - 4/5) and (3/5 - x/2).

Correct answer: -x²/3 + 4x/5 - 12/25 The product of two numbers is the result of multiplying them together. (2x/3 - 4/5)(3/5 - x/2) Use FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last) to determine the order of operations when multiplying expressions in parentheses. (2x/3)(3/5) + (- x/2)(2x/3) + (- 4/5)(3/5) + (- 4/5)(- x/2) 6x/15 - 2x²/6 - 12/25 + 4x/10 Remember to group like terms and find a common denominator. - 2x²/6 + (4x/10 + 6x/15) - 12/25 4x/10 + 6x/15 = (4x/10)(3/3) + (6x/15)(2/2) = 12x/30 + 12x/30 = 24x/30 Simplify by dividing the numerator and denominator by 6. 24x/30 ÷ 6/6 = 4x/5 Simplify - 2x²/6 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 2. - 2x²/6 ÷ 2/2 = -x²/3 Therefore, the answer is -x²/3 + 4x/5 - 12/25.

4 1/16 ÷ 3 1/8 Which of the following options correctly simplifies the above expression?

Correct answer: 1 3/10 In order to simplify the expression, convert the mixed numbers to improper fractions. 4 1/16 = 65/16 3 1/8 = 25/8 In order to divide by a fraction, multiply it by its reciprocal. 65/16 ÷ 25/8 = 65/16 × 8/25 (65 × 8)/(16 × 25) = 520/400. Reduce the fraction to its lowest terms. 520/400 ÷ 40/40 = 13/10 Convert the improper fraction to a mixed number. 13/10 = 1 3/10

Solve the following by adding. 5/9 + 2/7 =

Correct answer: 53/63 1. Find the Least Common Denominator (LCD) of 5/9,2/7 Method 1: By Listing Multiples List out all multiples of each denominator, and find the first common one. 9 : 9,18,27,36,45,54,63 7 : 7,14,21,28,35,42,49,56,63 Therefore, the LCD is 63. Method 2: By Prime Factors List all prime factors of each denominator, and find the union of these primes. 9 : 3,3 7 : 7 Therefore, the LCD is 3×3×7=63 2. Make the denominators the same as the LCD (5×7)/(9×7) + (2×9)/(7×9) 3. Simplify - Denominators are now the same 35/63 + 18/63 4. Join the denominators (35+18)/63 5. Simplify 53/63
