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

Answer: (B), (C), (D)

The correct options are
B

6/12, 2/12, 24/12

C

6/12, 3/12, 20/12

D

6/12, 3/12, 24/12

Like fractions are the fractions that have the exact same denominator.

In order to convert the fractions into like fractions, find the LCM of denominators of given fraction.

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

$\text{LCM of [12, 4, 3] = 12}$

Hence, $\frac{6}{12}=\frac{6\times 1}{12\times 1}=\frac{6}{12}$

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

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