Question

Convert $\frac{1}{4},\frac{5}{8},\frac{7}{12}and\frac{13}{24}$ into like fractions.

Answer 1

Given fractions are $\frac{1}{4},\frac{5}{8},\frac{7}{12}and\frac{13}{24}$

$LCMof4,8,12,24=(2\times 2\times 2\times 3)=24$

Converting each of the given fractions into an equivalent fraction with denominator as 24.
We get

$\frac{1\times 6}{4\times 6}=\frac{6}{24}$

$\frac{5\times 3}{8\times 3}=\frac{15}{24}$

$\frac{7\times 2}{12\times 2}=\frac{14}{24}$

$\frac{13\times 1}{24\times 1}=\frac{13}{24}$

$\therefore \frac{6}{24},\frac{15}{24},\frac{14}{24}and\frac{13}{24}$ are the required like fractions.
