Question

Q4) Kiarah collects data throughout the basketball season and uses these 1 point

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Bulldogs

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we want to compare several numbers with different denominators and find out which number is the least. To compare this number, we have to change the denominator into the same number by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of the 4 numbers. The factor of each number will be:

3= 3 ^1

5= 5^1

8= 2 * 2 * 2 = 2^3

2= 2^1

We can find the LCM by multiplying a higher exponent of each prime number. The LCM will be:3^1 * 5^1 * 2^3 = 120

Each number will be:

Tiger= 2/3 * 40/40= 80/120

Redbird = 4/5 * 24/24= 96/120

Bulldogs = 3/8 * 15/15 = 45/120

Titans = 1/2 * 60/60 = 60/120

As you can see, the team with the lowest chance to play is Bulldogs = 45/120
