Andy walked 3/4 of a mile to the post office and another 1/2 to the supermarket. what is a common denominator for 3/4 and 1/2? 10,8,6,5

A common denominator is very similar to the idea of a common multiple. You can think of a common multiple between two numbers as some number that they both go into. In other words, if you started counting by 3s and 5s, 15 would be a common multiple, since you manage to hit that number in both of your counting lists

3, 6, 9, 12, 15

5, 10, 15

Here, we're looking for some number that's a common multiple of 2 and 4. Counting by both numbers and listing those out:

2, 4, 6, 8

4, 8

We find that 8 fits the bill best. 10 and 6 are both multiples of 2, but not of 4, and 5, being an odd number, isn't a multiple of either one.

hey seth! : )

i’m not 100% sure, but i think it’s b

hope this ya : p

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet

step-by-step explanation:

let's assume length of parallelogram is 'l'

width of parallelogram is 'w'

the perimeter of a parallelogram must be no less than 40 feet

so, we get

we are given

length of parallelogram is 6 feet

so,

l=6

we can plug it

now, we can solve for w

subtract both sides by 12

divide both sides by 2

and we get

so,

the smallest possible measurement of the width is 14 feet
