Step-by-step explanation:
Conversion of Unlike to Like Fraction
Like fractions facilitate the comparison of fractions. So there is often a need to convert unlike fractions to them.
Let us convert 1, 4/5, 7/10 and 1/2 into like fractions. Steps for conversion:
Find the LCM of the denominators. LCM of 1, 5, 10 and 2 is 10.
Calculate their equivalent fractions with the same denominator, that is, the LCM.
1/1 = (1×10)/(1×10) = 10/10
4/5 = (4×2)/(5×2) = 8/10
7/10 = (7×1)/(10×1) = 7/10
1/2 = (1×5)/(2×5) = 5/10
1, 4/5, 7/10 and 1/2 are unlike fractions, which can be represented as 10/10, 8/10, 7/10 and 5/10 which are like fractions.
It is to be noted that when the denominators become equal, the fractions can be compared. You would not be able to answer the largest among 1, 4/5, 7/10 and 1/2. But once they have been converted to 10/10, 8/10, 7/10 and 5/10, you can arrange them in the ascending order of 5/10, 7/10, 8/10 and 10/10 very conveniently.
