Question

Convert $\frac{6}{12}$,$\frac{1}{4}$ and $\frac{6}{3}$ into like fractions

• A. 5/12, 3/12, 24/12
• B. 6/12, 2/12, 24/12
• C. 6/12, 3/12, 20/12
• D. 6/12, 3/12, 24/12

Answer 1

The correct option is D

6/12, 3/12, 24/12

In order to convert the fractions into like fractions, find the L.C.M of denominators of given fraction.

Then convert each fraction into an equivalent fraction having denominator as the L.C.M of the denominators of the given fractions.

L.C.M of 12,4,3 = 12

$\frac{6\times 1}{12\times 1}$= $\frac{6}{12}$ $\frac{1\times 3}{4\times 3}$= $\frac{3}{12}$ $\frac{6\times 4}{3\times 4}$= $\frac{24}{12}$
