Question

change the unlike fraction pairs into like fraction pairs​

1question 1/6 and 1/3

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Conversion of Unlike Fractions to Like Fractions

Step1. Find the LCM of the denominators of the given fractions.

Step2. Find the quotient by dividing the LCM by denominator of the given fractions.

Step3. Multiply the numerator by corresponding quotient.

Example: Convert 2/9 and 5/6 to like fractions.

Step 1: LCM of 9 and 6 = 2 x 3 x 3 = 18

2

9,6

3

9,3

3

3,1

 

1,1

Now, we have to adjust the numerators to the LCM =18

Step 2:

Convert 2/9

Numerator to be multiplied by (18/9 = 2)

Changed numerator = 2 x 2 = 4

2/9 (old fraction) = 4/18 (new fraction)

Convert 5/6

Numerator to be multiplied by (18/6 = 3)

Changed numerator = 5 x 3 = 15

5/6 (old fraction) = 15/18 (new fraction)

Therefore; 4/18 and 15/18 are the required like fractions.

I hope this helps you.
