OpenStudy (welshfella):

multiply 7 by 10 then divide by 2 to see if there is a lower LCD - if either 7 or 10 will not divide into this then its 70

OpenStudy (nehemias123):

that is 35

OpenStudy (nehemias123):

so it is c

OpenStudy (welshfella):

no its not 35 because 10 will not divide into 35

OpenStudy (welshfella):

look at my post post

OpenStudy (welshfella):

first we got 70 - diving by 2 was a method of seeing if there was a lower LCD

OpenStudy (welshfella):

* my first post

OpenStudy (welshfella):

the LCD is 70

OpenStudy (nehemias123):

ok

OpenStudy (welshfella):
