Question

The fractions with the same denominators are called ____ fractions, and the fractions with different denominators are called ____ fractions.

• A. unlike, like
• B. like, unlike
• C. unlike, equivalent
• D. equivalent, like

Answer 1

The correct option is B like, unlike

Detailed step-by-step solution:
The fractions with the same denominators are called like fractions, and the fractions with different denominators
are called unlike fractions.
For example,

$\frac{2}{5},\frac{7}{5},\text{and}\frac{11}{5}$

The denominator of each fraction is 5, i.e., the denominators of the fractions are the same/equal. So, these are like fractions.

$\frac{1}{3},\frac{3}{4},\text{and}\frac{7}{9}$

The denominator of each fraction is different. So, these are unlike fractions.
Hence, Option A is correct.
