Is the least common multiple of a pair of numbers ever less than both numbers

1 answer:

7 0

well It never could be less than both numbers. the LCM of 2 numbers shd either be greater than the 2 numbers .... or the answer should be equal to either one of the numbers ...

lets see some examples to prove this conclusion:

now, lets find the LCM of 2 and 6 ... so if we do it ... we get the answer 6 .. which is ..as we said equal to one of the numbers

another example : 5 and 7 ... in this ... if we do it .. .we get the LCM as 37 ... which is greater than both the numbers

another case where both the numbers are same ....

where we need to find the LCM of 7 and 7 ... the answer will be 7 itself .....

Answer:

Part A: 64 (right-side 3th cell) and 7 (left-side 4th cell)

Part B: 5 hours- $45; 6 hours- $54; 8 hours- $72

Part C: $5 more

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation for Part C- We know that if she works 5 hours mowing lawns, she will earn $40. But, when she works at the theme park we use the ratio given to find out how much she earn per hour. In her case she earns $9 for every hour she works at the theme park. now if you multiply that by 5 we can find out how much she earns in 5 hours which is $45. This is $5 more than what she earns mowing lawns for the same amount of time. Here we can conclude that Barbara earns $5 dollars more working at the theme park for 5 hours rather that mowing lawns.

If you can please name me the brainliest that would be much appreciated. Thanks and Good Luck!
