I'll use multiples of 2 and 4 as an example:

Multiples of 2: 2, 4, 6, 8...

Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16...

The least common multiple in this case is 4. The LCM is always ≥ the largest starting number, which is 4 for this example. Therefore, the statement is true.

If the weight of a package is multiplied by 5/7 the result is 40.5 pounds. Find the weight of the package.

Well, it would become 5/7x=40.5. Divide both sides by 5/7, so it is 40.5 * by the reciprocal of 5/7 (7/5). The answer is 56.7 pounds.

Which of the following is the solution to the equation - n/2 + 14 = 0 ?

poizon [28]

The answer is n=28;

1. Subtract 14 from both sides (-n/2 = -14)

2. Multiply by 2 on both sides to get rid of the fraction (-n = -28)

3. Divide by -1 to get n by itself (n = 28)

You could also eliminate step three by multiplying by -2 instead of just 2.

Hope this helps!
