To divide fractions, invert the second fraction and then multiply:

\( \frac{4}{9} \) ÷ \( \frac{4}{5} \) = \( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{5}{4} \)

To multiply fractions, multiply the numerators together and then multiply the denominators together:

\( \frac{4}{9} \) x \( \frac{5}{4} \) = \( \frac{4 x 5}{9 x 4} \) = \( \frac{20}{36} \) = \(\frac{5}{9}\)

To add these radicals together their radicands must be the same:

6\( \sqrt{48} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{16 \times 3} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
6\( \sqrt{4^2 \times 3} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
(6)(4)\( \sqrt{3} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)
24\( \sqrt{3} \) + 6\( \sqrt{3} \)

Now that the radicands are identical, you can add them together:

Calculate the number of vans needed by dividing the number of people that need transported by the capacity of one van:

vans = \( \frac{58}{12} \) = 4\(\frac{5}{6}\)

So, it will take 4 full vans and one partially full van to transport the entire team making a total of 5 vans.

A number with an exponent (b^e) consists of a base (b) raised to a power (e). The exponent indicates the number of times that the base is multiplied by itself. A base with an exponent of 1 equals the base (b¹ = b) and a base with an exponent of 0 equals 1 ( (b⁰ = 1).

The first few multiples of 3 are [3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24, 27, 30] and the first few multiples of 5 are [5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50]. The first few multiples they share are [15, 30, 45, 60, 75] making 15 the smallest multiple 3 and 5 have in common.
