Question

Fill in the blank:
$\left(x\right)\frac{8}{24}$ and $\frac{8}{32}$ are not _____ fractions.

Answer 1

Simplifying the given fractions:

Given, fractions are $\frac{8}{24}$ and $\frac{8}{32}$.
i.e, $\frac{8}{24}=\frac{8\times 1}{8\times 3}=\frac{1}{3}\dots \left(i\right)$
And $\frac{8}{32}=\frac{8\times 1}{8\times 4}=\frac{1}{4}\dots \left(ii\right)$

From $\left(i\right)$ and $\left(ii\right)$ we can see that both $\frac{8}{24}$ and $\frac{8}{32}$ have different denominators
i.e., $3$ and $4$ respectively.

So, we know that two or more fractions having different denominators are unlike fractions.

So, $\frac{8}{24}$ and $\frac{8}{32}$ are not like fractions.

Hence, the required answer is like.
