Question

$\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ as like fractions are $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

L.C.M. of the denominators of the given fractions is 6.

So, inorder to make the denominators of $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ same, we multiply the numerator and the denominator of $\frac{1}{2}$ by 3 and numerator and the denominator of $\frac{1}{3}$ by 2.

That is, $\frac{1\times 3}{2\times 3}$ = $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{1\times 2}{3\times 2}$ = $\frac{2}{6}$

Therefore, $\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{1}{3}$ as like fractions are $\frac{3}{6}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$.

Hence the given statement is true.
