I think you want the least common multipule (exg LCM of 2,3,4 is 12)

so we find the factors and include all of them so like this

15=3 times 5
12=2 times 2 times 3
8=2 times 2 times 2

so to include all of them we include 3 2's, 1 3 and 1 5 or 2 times 2 times 2 times 3 times 5 or 8 times 15 or 4 times 30 or 120

the LCM is 120

so 4/15=32/120
1/12=10/120
3/8=45/120

add 32/120+10/120+45/120=(32+10+45)/120=87/120

The least common denominator would be the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators, 15 12 and 8.

To find the LCM, multiply two of the numbers together and test to see if the third one divides evenly into it.

15 x 8 = 120

120 ÷ 12 = 10

Because all three numbers go evenly into 120 (and 120 is the smallest number for which that is true), the least common denominator would be 120.

<h2><u>Solution</u>:-</h2>

1. Radius (r) of the sphere = 10 units. (Given)

• Surface area of the sphere = 4πr².

Surface area of the sphere = 4 × π × (10)²

Surface area of the sphere = 4 × π × 10 × 10

Surface area of the sphere = 400π units. (Ans)

And,

• Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr³.

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 × π × (10)³

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 × π × 10 × 10 × 10

Volume of the sphere = 4000π/3

Volume of the sphere = 1333.3π cubic units. [approx] (Ans)

__________________________________

2. Diameter of the sphere = 16 units. (Given)

Radius (r) of the sphere = 16/2 = 8 units.

• Surface area of the sphere = 4πr².

Surface area of the sphere = 4 × π × (8)²

Surface area of the sphere = 4 × π × 8 × 8

Surface area of the sphere = 256π units. (Ans)

And,

• Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr³.

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 × π × (8)³

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 × π × 8 × 8 × 8

Volume of the sphere = 2048π/3

Volume of the sphere = 682.6π cubic units. [approx] (Ans)

__________________________________

3. Radius (r) of the sphere = 5 units. (Given)

• Surface area of the sphere = 4πr².

Surface area of the sphere = 4 × π × (5)²

Surface area of the sphere = 4 × π × 5 × 5

Surface area of the sphere = 100π units. (Ans)

And,

• Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr³.

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 × π × (5)³

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 × π × 5 × 5 × 5

Volume of the sphere = 500π/3

Volume of the sphere = 166.6π cubic units. [approx] (Ans)

__________________________________

4. Diameter of the sphere = 18 units. (Given)

Radius (r) of the sphere = 18/2 = 9 units.

• Surface area of the sphere = 4πr².

Surface area of the sphere = 4 × π × (9)²

Surface area of the sphere = 4 × π × 9 × 9

Surface area of the sphere = 324π units. (Ans)

And,

• Volume of the sphere = 4/3πr³.

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 × π × (9)³

Volume of the sphere = 4/3 × π × 9 × 9 × 9

Volume of the sphere = 2916π/3

Volume of the sphere = 972π cubic units. (Ans)

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

17/24

Step-by-step explanation:

Apply the AB rule, Adjust the fractions based on LCM, then you want to apply the a/b fraction rule which would allow you to do -15+23/24 which gives you 17/24. Hope this helps!

Please help me do not and please give me an explanation too please. No link please
krok68 [10]

Answer:

I'm pretty sure it's D.40 because it's the biggest number and 6+13+17 is only a bit bigger than 24. Also, all the numbers add up to 60 and 27 is only a bit less than 50% of 60
