make 3 trades with 1 person trading 5 for 8 each time...=24 ... sucker
5 / 5 = 1 9 - 1 = 8 3 x 8 = 24 or 3 x (9 - 5/5)
12 ÷ (3 - 5/2) = 12 ÷ 1/2 = 24
(1 + 5 - 3) * 8 = 24
8x3=24 24+3-3=24
(7+5)*(6/3) = 24
(5+7)*(5-3)=12*2=24
First way: (3/3 + 5) * 4 = 24 Second way: (5-3) * (4*3) = 24
8 x (2 + 5/5) = 8 x (2 + 1) = 8 x 3 = 24
(6 and 5/8) - (4 and 3/3) = (6 and 15/24) - (4 and 24/24) = (5 and 39/24) - (4 and 24/24) = 1 and 15/24 = 1 and 5/8. Alternatively, notice that 3/3 = 1, so (4 and 3/3) = 5. Then (6 and 5/8) - (4 and 3/3) = (6 and 5/8) - (5) = 1 and 5/8.
lcm of 24 and 30:.24 = 2 * (12) 2 * (6) 2 * 3 = 2^3, 3^130 = 2 * (15) 3 * 5 = 2^1,3^1,5^1.highest of each prime gives, 2^3 * 3^1 * 5^1 = 8 * 3 * 5 = 120
5/5=1. 4-1 is 3. 3*8 is 24
3*3 + 3*5 = 9 + 15 = 24
