I need help with this question

1/3 = 56/168

5/8 = 105/168

4/7 = 96/168

Step-by-step explanation:

the simplest approach to common denominator is by just multiplying all different denominators:

3 × 8 × 7 = 168

3 and 7 are prime numbers (no other whole number factors are a part of them).

8 has sub-factors : 4 and 2

but we cannot build any multiplication products with them and 3 and 7 that is then divisible by 8.

so, actually, 168 is the smallest common denominator.

so, to bring every fraction to a 168 denominator, we need to calculate the scaling factor between the original fraction denominator and the new one.

for 1/3 we have therefore to calculate 168/3 = 56

for 5/8 we have to calculate 168/8 = 21

for 4/7 we have to calculate 168/7 = 24

and so

1/3 = 1×56/168 = 56/168

5/8 = 5×21/168 = 105/168

4/7 = 4×24/168 = 96/168

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

step-by-step explanation:

the total estimated nappy use.=10,500,000

step-by-step explanation:

given that on an average the average baby uses 3528 napkins.

in a particular year 2014, the number of births were 299697 in new south wales.

rounding off the number of births to the nearest hundred thousand we have

no of birtsh = 300000

also rounding off the average usage to nearst thousand we get

average use of a baby = 3500

hence total number of nappy estimated to be used = 3500x300000

= 10,500,000

answer is 10,500,000 nappies
