Solve: 5/6 - 1/2 =
2/3
5/12 + 1/4 = 8/12. Is the answer in simplest form? Explain.
No, because 8 and 12 can be divided by 4.
What is the least common multiple of 2 and 3?
6
1/2 + 2/5
9/10
Simplify the fraction 4/16
1/4
What is the least common multiple of 5 and 15?
15
Solve: 2/3 + 1/6 =
5/6
What is the least common multiple of 4 and 6?
12
What are unlike fractions?
Fractions who have different denominators.
To find a COMMON DENOMINATOR of two fractions we have to find: A) the greatest common factor of the denominators B) the least common multiple of the denominators C) the product of the numerators
B) the least common multiple of the denominators
