How are a common denominator and a common multiple alike?
IrinaVladis [17]
First I need to say that the common multiple is when two or more numbers meet up at the same point like 5 and 3 meeting up at 15. The common denominator works almost exactly the same way. It involve two fractions' denominators meeting up like 1/5 and 1/3 meeting up at ?/15 with ? being what the numerator would be (like 1/5 becoming 3/15 because 5 x 3= 15 and you must do so to the numerator so 1 x 3=3. 3/15). So they are alike in the way that they both involve two or more numbers' multiples meeting up, and the common multiple is basically used to find the common denominator.

Which of the following images does the Time Traveller NOT see when he is traveling through time in The Time Machine?
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

A. A slug crawling across the ground

Explanation:

According to the passage, "'The landscape was misty and vague. I was still on the hill–side upon which this house now stands, and the shoulder rose above me grey and dim. I saw trees growing and changing like puffs of vapour, now brown, now green; they grew, spread, shivered, and passed away. I saw huge buildings rise up faint and fair, and pass like dreams. The whole surface of the earth seemed changed—melting and flowing under my eyes. The little hands upon the dials that registered my speed raced round faster and faster. Presently I noted that the sun belt swayed up and down, from solstice to solstice, in a minute or less, and that consequently my pace was over a year a minute; and minute by minute the white snow flashed across the world, and vanished, and was followed by the bright, brief green of spring."

B, C, and D are all examples that are included in the passage, therefore A is the correct answer.
