By what number would you multiply each equation to clear denominators or decimals?

(Do not solve)

1/3z + 1/6 = 5 1/6

3.7 + 2.75k = 27.35

Final answer:

Multiply the first equation by 6 to eliminate the fractions and the second equation by 100 to eliminate the decimals.

Step-by-step explanation:

To clear denominators or decimals in the given equations, you would multiply by a number that would eliminate fractions and decimal points, thus simplifying the equation. For the first equation 1/3z + 1/6 = 5 1/6, you would multiply each term by the least common denominator of the fractions involved, which is 6, to get whole numbers. Hence, you would multiply the entire equation by 6. For the second equation 3.7 + 2.75k = 27.35, to clear the decimals, you would multiply each term by 100, as the smallest power of 10 that converts all decimals to whole numbers is 100.
