LCM
factor them
12=2*2*3 -> two 2's, and one 3
48=2*2*2*2*3 -> four 2's and one 3
72=2*2*2*3*3 -> three 2's and two 3's

LCM includes all of them
the max number of 2's is 4
the max number of 3's is 2
lcm=2*2*2*2*3*3=144

The UAE Hope Probe is between 22,000 Km and 44,000 KM away from mars. This means its between _____________m and ______________m.

Marina86 [1]

Answer:

This means it is between 22000000 m and 44000000 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the UAE Hope Pobe is between 22 000 km and 44 000 km away from Mars.

Since,

1 000 m = 1 km

Then,

22 000 km = 22 000 x 1000 m

= 22000000 m

also,

44000 km = 44000 x 1000 m

= 44000000 m

Therefore, the Probe is between 22000000 m and 44000000 m.

Reduce the following fraction: -32abc/64a^2bc^2

mafiozo [28]

Answer:

$-\dfrac{1}{2ac}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$\dfrac{-32abc}{64a^2bc^2}$

Reduce this fraction.

Work with numbers and different letters separately:

1. Numbers:

$\dfrac{-32}{64}=-\dfrac{32}{32\cdot 2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}$

2. Letter a:

$\dfrac{a}{a^2}=\dfrac{a}{a\cdot a}=\dfrac{1}{a}$

3. Letter b:

$\dfrac{b}b}=1$

4. Letter c:

$\dfrac{c}{c^2}=\dfrac{c}{c\cdot c}=\dfrac{1}{c}$

Hence,

$\dfrac{-32abc}{64a^2bc^2}=-\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot \dfrac{1}{a}\cdot \dfrac{1}{c}=-\dfrac{1}{2ac}$
