Answer:

288

Step-by-step explanation:

First, simplify the fraction 3/18 to 1/6, this will help a lot. Then, you just, find the LCM, and you can list out the mutliples to help you

6, 12, 18, 24, 39, 36, 42, 48, 54, 60

16, 32, 48, 64, 80

It would be easiest to do 48

But that's not exactly what the question is asking

It's asking the LCM of 1/16 and 3/18

I wanted to show you the other way so you would be able to think of it in a different way which would be easier

You would just list out the multiples again.

18, 36, 54, 72, 90, 108, 126, 135, 153, 171, 189

16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 130, 146, 162, 178, 194

Ok, I give up on that

Let's just do 16*18 which is 288.

288 is your LCM

Sometimes multiplying is easier and other times listing it out is easier.

I hope this helped

Answer : 4 times

Here it's given that ,

The height and base of the butterfly sitting on the stem (red butterfly) is two times greater than the height and base of the butterfly sitting on the flower .

And we need to find out how many times the area of red winged butterfly is greater than that of sitting on the flower (blue butterfly) .

Let us take ,

base of blue butterfly be b
height of blue butterfly be h
Area be A .

Then ,

base of red butterfly will be 2b .
height of red butterfly will be 2h .
Area be A' .

We know that ,

→ area of the triangle = 1/2 × base × height

So that ,

→ A/A' = (1/2 * b * h) ÷ (1/2 *2b *2h)

→ A/A' = bh/4bh

→ A/A' = 1/4

→ A' = 4A

Henceforth the area of blue butterfly is 4 times greater than that of red winged butterfly .

I hope this helps.

What is y=-10x's constant of proportionality and how would describe a graph's constant rate of change.

Fantom [35]

Okay, so here, we know that -10 is the slope, therefore, it is also the constant of proportionality.

'x' is the unknown value, that tells us to multiply by -10.

So, on a graph, we would consider that per unit, it would decrease by -10, since its a negative slope.

Hope I helped, if you have further questions or concerns, feel free to PM me. Thanks! :D
