OpenStudy (anonymous):

what class are you taking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so pretty much what can both 5 and 3 go into?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what are multiples of 5? and 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YY?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5 times 2 is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay the answer would be 15 but explain to me why.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BUT 15 IS A MULTIPLE FROM 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i meant the whole problem. you take the 5 from 1/5 and the 3 from the 1/3 and find their least common multiple.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

15 would be the answer because 5x3=15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

SO IT HAS TO BE THE SAME ANSWER FROM WAT U MULTIPLE?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not always you have to look at all multiples. 5x2=10 3 CANNOT go into 10. 3x2=6 5 CANNOT go into six.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you understand what i mean when i say multiples?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OKAY..AND JUST THE SAME LIKE I N THE LEAST COMMOM FACTOR. I HAVE TO FIND THE MULTIPLE AND IT WOULD BE IT BUT IN FRACTIONS

OpenStudy (anonymous):
