Answer:

200

Explanation:

The LCM of 4 and 5 is 20. Since you know this, you would multiply this LCM by how much you would multiply to get 40 from 4 or 50 from 5.

4 * 10 = 40

5 * 10 = 50

Since you multiply these factors by 10, you would also multiply the LCM by 10.

20 (LCM of 4 and 5) * 10 = 200

The LCM of 40 and 50 is 200.
