6. Change the following groups of fractions to like fractions:

(i) 1 / 3, 2 / 5, 3 / 4, 1 / 6

(ii) 5 / 6, 7 / 8, 11 / 12, 3 / 10

(iii) 2 / 7, 7 / 8, 5 / 14, 9 / 16

Solution:

(i) 1 / 3, 2 / 5, 3 / 4, 1 / 6

The conversion of fractions to like fractions is shown below

LCM of the denominator 3, 5, 4, 6 = 60

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 14 - 17

= 2 × 3 × 1 × 5 × 2 × 1

= 60

1 / 3 = (1 × 20) / (3 × 20)

= 20 / 60

2 / 5 = (2 × 12) / (5 × 12)

= 24 / 60

3 / 4 = (3 × 15) / (4 × 15)

= 45 / 60

1 / 6 = (1 × 10) / (6 × 10)

= 10 / 60

Hence 1 / 3, 2 / 5, 3 / 4, 1 / 6 = 20 / 60, 24 / 60, 45 / 60, 10 / 60

(ii) 5 / 6, 7 / 8, 11 / 12, 3 / 10

The conversion of fractions to like fractions is shown below

LCM of the denominators 6, 8, 12, 10 = 120

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 14 - 18

= 2 × 2 × 3 × 1 × 2 × 1 × 5

= 120

5 / 6 = (5 × 20) / (6 × 20)

= 100 / 120

7 / 8 = (7 × 15) / (8 × 15)

= 105 / 120

11 / 12 = (11 × 10) / (12 × 10)

= 110 / 120

3 / 10 = (3 × 12) / (10 × 12)

= 36 / 120

Hence 5 / 6, 7 / 8, 11 / 12, 3 / 10 = 100 / 120, 105 / 120, 110 / 120, 36 / 120

(iii) 2 / 7, 7 / 8, 5 / 14, 9 / 16

LCM of the denominators 7, 8, 14, 16 = 112

Selina Solutions Concise Mathematics Class 6 Chapter 14 - 19

= 2 × 7 × 4 × 1 × 1 × 1 × 2

= 112

2 / 7 = (2 × 16) / (7 × 16)

= 32 / 112

7 / 8 = (7 × 14) / (8 × 14)

= 98 / 112

5 / 14 = (5 × 8) / (14 × 8)

= 40 / 112

9 / 16 = (9 × 7) / (16 × 7)

= 63 / 112

Hence 2 / 7, 7 / 8, 5 / 14, 9 / 16 = 32 / 112, 98 / 112, 40 / 112, 63 / 112
