OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

right

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

You need the least common multiple of 2, t, and 8.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i think its 8 or 16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For 8 and 2, it's 8, since 8 is a multiple of 8 and of 2. But you must include t, since one denominator is t.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
