Question

Convert the following unlike fractions to like fractions:\n
$\frac{2}{5},\frac{2}{3}$

• A.
• B.
• C.
• D.

Answer 1

The correct option is B

$\frac{2}{5},\frac{2}{3}$
Like fractions are fractions that have the same denominator
LCM of 5 and 3 is 15 (since 5 and 3 have no common factors, we can multiply them directly to find their LCM)
$\frac{2}{5}=\frac{(2\times 3)}{(5\times 3)}=\frac{6}{15}\frac{2}{3}=\frac{(2\times 5)}{3\times 5}=\frac{10}{15}$
Like fractions are $\frac{6}{15}$ and $\frac{10}{15}$
