I'm sorry I need 1 more question to be asked.
Use the LCD to write equivalent fractions.
5/6 , 2/9
What is the LCD?
18?
5/6 = 15/18
2/9 = ?
Right.
Divide 18 by the denominator and multiply by the numerator.
5/6 = 15/18
Thank you both.
You're welcome.
To find equivalent fractions using the least common denominator (LCD), follow these steps:
Step 1: Find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.
The denominators are 6 and 9. The multiples of 6 are: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 42, ...
The multiples of 9 are: 9, 18, 27, 36, 45, 54, 63, ...
The LCM of 6 and 9 is 18.
Step 2: Create equivalent fractions using the LCM as the new denominator.
To convert 5/6 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 18:
Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3.
(5/6) * (3/3) = 15/18
To convert 2/9 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 18:
Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2.
(2/9) * (2/2) = 4/18
Therefore, the equivalent fractions using the LCD of 18 are:
5/6 is equivalent to 15/18.
2/9 is equivalent to 4/18.
