Answer:

Look below

Explanation:

First, because all multiples of 10 are multiples of 5, we only need to find the least common multiple of 4 and 10. Turns out, that is 20. There are 3 possible answers for that certain range of values: 60, 80, and 100. However, I cannot determine the correct answer from the given sentences. If there is more content to this problem, could you post it in the comments? Thanks!

  • The number that meets those criteria is 60.

Explanation:

we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the numbers 4, 5, and 10, which are the given multiples.

The LCM of 4, 5, and 10 is 20. This means we're looking for a multiple of 20 between the range of 55 and 101.

60 is the first multiple of 20 that falls within that range. It's a multiple of 4, 5, and 10, satisfying all the given conditions for Ravi to choose a number.
