Question

Any two unlike fractions can be converted into like fractions by writing their equivalent fractions having denominator equal to the LCM of the denominators .

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Unlike fractions : The fractions whose denominators are not equal are called unlike fractions

Example : $\frac{2}{5}\text{and}\frac{3}{10}$

Like fractions : The fractions whose denominators are equal are called like fractions

Example :$\frac{1}{4}\text{and}\frac{5}{4}$

If we discuss the example in unlike fractions so first we find the LCM of the denominators such that LCM$(5,10)=10$

Now we rewrite the fractions with denominators equal to the LCM .

$\frac{2\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{4}{10},\frac{3\times 1}{10\times 1}=\frac{3}{10}$

So we get the like fractions with denominators $10$

Hence, the given statement is true.
