Lcd means least common denomenators
it is normally used to combine fractions with differnt denomenators

I can show 2 disproofs

so
they can be equal
conside
3/4 and 5/8
lcd is 8, 8>8 is false
not reasnable

they can be less if they arenot simplified
example
4/8 and 24/16
lcd is 4

not reasonable

It is not reasonable.
The LCD can be less than the denominators if the fractions are not in simplest form but the LCD can be equal to one of the fractions even if they are in simplest form, for example:
3/4 and 1/2

Hope this helps :)

Brrunno [24]

Answer:

A certain company makes 12-volt car batteries. After many years of product testing, the company knows that the average life of a battery is normally distributed, with a mean of 50 months and a standard deviation of 9 months. If the company does not want to make refunds for more than 10% of its batteries under the full-refund guarantee policy, for how long should the company guarantee the batteries?

The company should guarantee the batteries for 38 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using standard normal table,

P(Z < z) = 10%

=(Z < z) = 0.10

= P(Z <- 1.28 ) = 0.10

z = -1.28

Using z-score formula  

x = zσ  + μ

x = -1.28 *9+50

x = 38

Therefore, the company should guarantee the batteries for 38 months.
