Answer: C. 60

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, they are asking  the least common multiple of 4,5, and 6.

Find the LCM of the numbers or the multiples of the numbers.

Multiples of 4 are  4, 8, 12,16, 20, 24,28,32,36, 40, 44,48,52,56,60.

Multiples of 5 are  5, 10,15,20,25,30,35,40,45,50,55,60.

Multiples of 6 are  6,12,18,24,30,36, 42, 48, 54, 60,

As we can see in their multiples, they do not share the multiple 6 or 30 .

But they all share the number 60 which means that 60  is the least possilbe number of candies in the bag.

Note that is can go on to be 90 or 120 but they are not the smallest ones.

In this diagram, BAC – EDF. If the
puteri [66]
The triangles are congruent. So.

Triangle ABC is 24 inch^2 and BC is 4 inches.
The area of a triangle is 0.5 x base x height. The will be 12 because 12 x 4 x 0.5 which equals 24.

Triangle DEF is half the size of ABC because bc is 4 and EF is 2 showing it’s half. This then means the height will be half which then mean it will be 6.

This then means we can use the equation to work it out. So. 6 x 0.5 x 2 = 6in^2

The answer is 6inches^2
