Expert Solution & Answer
Check Mark
To determine

Evaluate the lowest common denominator and its equivalent fraction.

Answer to Problem 1A

The equivalent fractions are 3090, 3690, 7590 and 4090.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Fractions are 13, 25, 56 and 49.

Concept used:

Lowest common denominator is the smallest number which divides all the denominators of the fractions with zero remainder. Divide the lowest common number by denominator and then obtained value is multiplied with each fraction on numerator and denominator.

Calculation:

Prime factorizations of the denominators are given as follows:

  3=1×35=1×56=1×2×39=1×32

The lowest common denominator is given as follows:

  1×32×2×590

Divide 90 by first fraction denominator 3.

  90÷330

Multiply 30 with first fraction 13 on numerator and denominator.

  13=1×303×30=3090

Divide 90 by second fraction denominator 5.

  90÷518

Multiply 18 with second fraction 25 on numerator and denominator.

  25=2×185×18=3690

Divide 90 by third fraction denominator 6.

  90÷615

Multiply 15 with third fraction 56 on numerator and denominator.

  56=5×156×15=7590

Divide 90 by fourth fraction denominator 9.

  90÷910

Multiply 10 with fourth fraction 49 on numerator and denominator.

  49=4×109×10=4090

Thus, the equivalent fractions are 3090, 3690, 7590 and 4090.

Conclusion:

The equivalent fractions are 3090, 3690, 7590 and 4090.

7. [10 marks] Let G = (V,E) be a 3-connected graph. We prove that for every x, y, z Є V, there is a cycle in G on which x, y, and z all lie. (a) First prove that there are two internally disjoint xy-paths Po and P₁. (b) If z is on either Po or P₁, then combining Po and P₁ produces a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. So assume that z is not on Po and not on P₁. Now prove that there are three paths Qo, Q1, and Q2 such that: ⚫each Qi starts at z; • each Qi ends at a vertex w; that is on Po or on P₁, where wo, w₁, and w₂ are distinct; the paths Qo, Q1, Q2 are disjoint from each other (except at the start vertex 2) and are disjoint from the paths Po and P₁ (except at the end vertices wo, W1, and w₂). (c) Use paths Po, P₁, Qo, Q1, and Q2 to prove that there is a cycle on which x, y, and z all lie. (To do this, notice that two of the w; must be on the same Pj.)
