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 $\frac{13}{24}$
LCM of $4,8,12,24=(2\times 2\times 2\times 3)=24$
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.
