Question

Convert the Unlike fraction into like fraction $\frac{1}{5},\frac{9}{4},\frac{4}{3},\frac{5}{2}$

Answer 1

LCM of the denominator $5,4,3$ and $2$ is $60$

Let us multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction with a suitable number to make the denominator as $60$.

So,

$\frac{1}{5}=\frac{1\times 12}{5\times 12}=\frac{12}{60},\frac{9}{4}=\frac{9\times 15}{4\times 15}=\frac{135}{60},\frac{4}{3}=\frac{4\times 20}{3\times 20}=\frac{80}{60},\frac{5}{2}=\frac{5\times 30}{2\times 30}=\frac{150}{60}$
Thus the Like fractions are $\frac{12}{60},\frac{135}{60},\frac{80}{60},\frac{150}{60}$
