<h3>Answer:  60</h3>

The value 60 is the LCM of 3, 4 and 5.

==================================================

Explanation:

LCM = lowest common multiple

To find the LCM, we list out the prime factorization of each number

  • 3 = 3*1
  • 4 = 2*2
  • 5 = 5*1

Ignoring the factors of 1, we have the unique primes of 2, 3, 5. There are 2 copies of '2', one copy of '3', and one copy of '5'. So we multiply this out to get 2*2*3*5 = 4*15 = 60

----------

If she had 60 apples, and wanted to give them to 3 friends, then each friend gets 60/3 = 20 apples

If instead, she had 4 friends, then each friend gets 60/4 = 15 apples.

Or if she had 5 friends, then each friend gets 60/5 = 12 apples.

For any of those three cases, there are no leftovers or remainders.

Any multiple of 60 will work (eg: 120 or 180), but 60 is the smallest such number that allows her to divide the apples this way without any leftovers.

Answer:

60

Step-by-step explanation:

60 / 3 = 15

60 / 4 = 20

60 / 5 = 12

They all divide evenly.

A city in the Pacific Northwest recorded its highest temperature at 91 degrees F and its lowest temperature at 12 degrees F for
docker41 [41]

Answer:

(A)12-19

Step-by-step explanation:

To construct a frequency distribution, we follow the steps below.

1. Find the largest and smallest values.

91 and 12 respectively

Compute the Range = Maximum - Minimum=91-12=79

2. Determine the number of classes desired.

In this case, we desire 10 classes

3. Next, we find the class width by dividing the range by the number of classes and rounding up.

79÷10 = 7.9

Rounded Up, Class Width=8

4. Pick a suitable starting point less than or equal to the minimum value.

Since our minimum value is 12, we pick a class starting with 12 and give a class width of 8.

Therefore the upper and lower limits of the first class is given as:

12-19.
