Eduardo owened 6/7 of a family business. He sold 1/5 of the business to his son. What portion of the business does he still own?
What is the lowest term for 5/9+ 8/9
what is the lcm of of 3,6 and 9
The first question: He can only sell to his son what he owns.
6/7*soldtoson=1/5
soldtoson= 7/30
whichmeans he still owns...
6/7-7/30 you can do that math.
2) 5/9+8/9 = 14/9 = 1 5/9
3) lcm of 3,6,9? Would 18 work?
These are the options. 6/7 of the family business. sold 1/5 to his son.
23/37 14/37 23/35 or 37/35.
2.5/9+8/9 options 1 4/9 1 2/3 1 1/3 and 13/18.
To find out what portion of the business Eduardo still owns after selling a portion to his son, we need to subtract the fraction that he sold from the whole.
Eduardo originally owned 6/7 of the family business. He then sold 1/5 of it to his son. To calculate what portion he still owns, we first need to find a common denominator for the fractions involved, which is 35 in this case (7 * 5 = 35).
Eduardo originally owned (6/7) * 35 = 30 parts of the business.
He sold 1/5 * 35 = 7 parts of the business to his son.
To find the remaining portion, we subtract the sold portion from the original ownership: 30 parts - 7 parts = 23 parts.
Therefore, Eduardo still owns 23/35 of the family business.
-----------------------------------
To simplify the fraction 5/9 + 8/9 to its lowest terms, we add the two fractions together.
The fractions have the same denominator, so we can simply add the numerators together while keeping the denominator the same:
5/9 + 8/9 = (5 + 8) / 9 = 13/9
Since this fraction is already in its lowest terms (i.e., the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1), the lowest term for 5/9 + 8/9 is 13/9.
-----------------------------------
To find the least common multiple (LCM) of 3, 6, and 9, we need to determine the smallest number that is evenly divisible by all three numbers.
The prime factorization of each number is as follows:
3 = 3
6 = 2 * 3
9 = 3 * 3
To find the LCM, we take the highest power of each prime factor from the factorizations:
2^1 * 3^2 = 12
Therefore, the LCM of 3, 6, and 9 is 12.
