Need to write an equivalent fraction for each, using the least common denominator.
1. 7/9, 1/6
ANSWER=12/18,14/18
You're right that 18 is the common denominator.
7/9 = 14/18
You multiplied the numerator and denominator by the same number >> 2
1/6 does not equal 12/18
Please try this one again.
Answer= 14/18 and 3/18
To find equivalent fractions using the least common denominator (LCD), follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.
In this case, the denominators are 9 and 6. The LCM of 9 and 6 is 18.
Step 2: Convert the fractions so that they have the same denominator (the LCD).
To convert the first fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number that will result in the denominator being 18. In this case, multiply the numerator and denominator by 2:
7/9 * 2/2 = 14/18
To convert the second fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number that will result in the denominator being 18. In this case, multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:
1/6 * 3/3 = 3/18
So the equivalent fractions, using the least common denominator of 18, are 14/18 and 3/18.
