Question

Convert the Unlike fraction into like fraction $\frac{2}{3},\frac{3}{4},\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{8}$

Answer 1

LCM of the denominator $3,4,2,8is24$

Let us multiply the numerator and denominator of each fraction with a suitable number to make the denominator as $24.$

$\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2\times 8}{3\times 8}=\frac{16}{24}\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3\times 6}{4\times 6}=\frac{18}{24}\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times 12}{2\times 12}=\frac{12}{24}\frac{1}{8}=\frac{1\times 3}{8\times 3}=\frac{3}{24}$

Thus, the like fractions are $\frac{16}{24}$,$\frac{18}{24}$,$\frac{12}{24}$,$\frac{3}{24}$
