The LCM is the lowest number that is a multiple of all three numbers. First, list the multiples of each number 8: 8, 16, 24, 32,40 48, 56, 64, 72, 80, 88, 96, 104, 112, 120 10: 10, 20, 30 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100, 110, 120 12: 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84, 96, 108, 120
The LCM is 120 because there is no lower number that is a multiple of all three numbers. Hope this helped!
To get the answer, you have to multiply the number 0.45 by the denominator of 1/10. [The denominator is 10.]The reason for this is because 10 is the whole number of parts. When you multiply 1/10 x 0.45, you get 4.5 [Just move the decimal point one place to the right because 10 has one zero.]
To double check your answer, divide 4.5 by 10 or multiply 4.5 x 1/10. Either way you get 4.5, so that's the correct answer.
