Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the LCD, all you have to do is find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators.

The fractions are already reduced, so you have to find the LCM of 20 and 30. The LCM of 20 and 30 is 60.

20 and 30 are easy numbers, so you can just list the multiples out.

20: 20, 40, 60, etc.

30: 30, 60

The lists both have 60, so the LCM is 60.

Another way is to prime factorize the two numbers.

20: 2^2*5

30: 2*3*5

Then, take the non-repeating factor from the second number (3) and multiply that by 30, which is 60.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

LCD(1 /20 , 11 /30) = LCM(20, 30) = 22×3×5 = 60

1 /20 = 3 /60

11 /30 = 22 /60

In how many map squares did we spot more than 29 plant species

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

10 map squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given a histogram, which represents the plant species spotted in the animal reserve.

The x-axis represents the number of plant species and y axis represents the number of map squares.

We can see that 0 to 9 species are spotted in 1 map square.

10 to 19 and 20 to 29 plant species are spotted in 2 map squares.

To find the number of map squares that spot more than 29 plant species, we will count number of map squares that spot 30 to 49 plant species as 30 to 49 numbers are more than 29.

We can see from our histogram that 4 map squares spot 30 to 39 plant species and 6 map squares spot 40 to 49 plant species.

$\text{Total number of map squares that spot more than 29 plant species}=4+6$
