(A)

a)240

Step by step explain:

Solution:

The smallest number that is divisible by 16, 24, and 40 exactly is their LCM.

⇒ Multiples of 16, 24, and 40:

Multiples of 16 = 16, 32, 48, 64, 80, 96, 112, 128, 144, 160, 176, 192, 208, 224, 240, . . . .

Multiples of 24 = 24, 48, 72, 96, 120,

(B)

So, since our denominator in 17/100 is 100, we could adjust the fraction to make the denominator 100. To do that, we divide 100 by the denominator:

100 ÷ 100 = 1

Once we have that, we can multiple both the numerator and denominator by this multiple:

17 x 1/100 0x 1 = 17/100

Now we can see that our fraction is 17/100, which means that 17/100 as a percentage is 17%
