Question

how to convert unlike fractions into like fraction

Answer 1

Answer:

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.

 

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert unlike fraction into like fraction:

1. Find the LCM of denominators of all given fraction.
2. For each given fraction multiply its denominator by a suitable number so that the product obtained is equal to the LCM in step 1.
3. Multiply the numerator by the same number.

Example:-

Convert $\frac{4}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ into like fractions.

Solution:- LCM of 3, 6 = 6.

Now, multiplying $\frac{4}{3}$ by 2 so that the denominator becomes 6.

So, $\frac{4}{3}$ × $\frac{2}{2}$ = $\frac{8}{6}$

Now, $\frac{8}{6}$ and $\frac{1}{6}$ are like fractions.
