Solution - Adding, subtracting and finding the least common multiple
Step by Step Solution
Rearrange:
Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the greater than sign from both sides of the inequality :
10/3*p-(8/9)>0
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :

Equation at the end of step 2 :
10 8
(—— • p) - — > 0
3 9
Step 3 :
Calculating the Least Common Multiple :
3.1 Find the Least Common Multiple
The left denominator is : 3
The right denominator is : 9
Prime Factor | Left Denominator | Right Denominator | L.C.M = Max {Left,Right} |
---|---|---|---|
3 | 1 | 2 | 2 |
Product of all Prime Factors | 3 | 9 | 9 |
Least Common Multiple:
9
Calculating Multipliers :
3.2 Calculate multipliers for the two fractions
Denote the Least Common Multiple by L.C.M
Denote the Left Multiplier by Left_M
Denote the Right Multiplier by Right_M
Denote the Left Deniminator by L_Deno
Denote the Right Multiplier by R_Deno
Left_M = L.C.M / L_Deno = 3
Right_M = L.C.M / R_Deno = 1
Making Equivalent Fractions :
3.3 Rewrite the two fractions into equivalent fractions
Two fractions are called equivalent if they have the same numeric value.
For example : 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent, y/(y+1)2 and (y2+y)/(y+1)3 are equivalent as well.
To calculate equivalent fraction , multiply the Numerator of each fraction, by its respective Multiplier.
L. Mult. • L. Num. 10p • 3 —————————————————— = ——————— L.C.M 9 R. Mult. • R. Num. 8 —————————————————— = — L.C.M 9
Adding fractions that have a common denominator :
3.4 Adding up the two equivalent fractions
Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator
Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:
10p • 3 - (8) 30p - 8
————————————— = ———————
9 9
Step 4 :
Pulling out like terms :
4.1 Pull out like factors :
30p - 8 = 2 • (15p - 4)
Equation at the end of step 4 :
2 • (15p - 4)
————————————— > 0
9
Step 5 :
5.1 Multiply both sides by 9
5.2 Divide both sides by 2
5.3 Divide both sides by 15
p-(4/15) > 0
Solve Basic Inequality :
5.4 Add 4/15 to both sides
p > 4/15
