Answer:

10

Explanation:

The least common denominator can be found by finding the LCM of the 2 denominators:

First let's list the multiples of the first denominator :

10,20,30,40,50

Now let's list the multiples of the second denominator :

5,10,15,20,25

As we can see the lowest number that appears in both lists is 10.

Therefore 10 is the least common denominator.
