I believe it is the last answer choice
the problem is a pattern that multiplies by two and subtracts one each time.
3x2=6 6-1=5 5x2=10 10-2=9 9x2=18 18-1=17 17x2=34 34-1=33
175000 / 100 = 1750 this step finds 1% of 175000
1750 x 4.5 = 7875 this step finds 4.5% of 175000
Commission for first house $7875
199000 / 100 = 1990 this step finds 1% of 199000
1990 x 4.5 = 8955 this step finds 4.5% of 199000
Commission for second house $8955
$7875 + $8955 = $16,830
Kensho's commission for this quarter is $16,830
You put it over it’s number place so since .5 is in the tenths place you put it over 10
So it would be 2 5/10 after simplifying you get 2 1/2
" always " is the wrong word....should be sometimes
usually the LCM is greater....
example : 2 and 4.....LCM = 8, GCF = 2
3 and 6....LCM = 12, GCF = 3
However, if ur 2 numbers are the same...
2 and 2.....LCM = 2 and GCF = 2
4 and 4....LCM = 4 and GCF = 4
