The number of orange cans of paint is 6
Solution:
Given that,
Let us convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions
Multiply the whole number part by the fraction's denominator.
Add that to the numerator.
Then write the result on top of the denominator
Now we have to add red cans of paint and yellow cans of paint to get orange cans of paint
Take L.C.M for denominators
The prime factors of 4 = 2 x 2
The prime factors of 12 = 2 x 2 x 3
For each prime factor, find where it occurs most often as a factor and write it that many times in a new list.
The new superset list is
2, 2, 3
Multiply these factors together to find the LCM.
LCM = 2 x 2 x 3 = 12
Thus the number of orange cans of paint is 6
