Answer 1

Answer:

Lynee lives closer to the playground,

Step-by-step explanation:

Jorge,lynne,and crosby meet at the playground.Lynne lives 4/6 from the playground.Jorge lives 5/6from the playground. Crosby lives 7/8 from the playground.Who lives closer to the playground,Jorge or Lynne

Lynne lives 4/6 from the playground

Jorge lives 5/6from the playground

Crosby lives 7/8 from the playground

in denominator there are 6 & 8

LCM of  6 & 8 = 24

lets multiply & divide each number such that every distance  has 24 in denominator

4/6  = 16/24

5/6  = 20/24

7/8 = 21/24

16 is smallest

so Lynee lives closer to the playground,
