what is the lowest common denominator for 2/3 and 4/9
3 ^_^ if you multiply the first one by 3 , then you'll get the same denominator.
so it'll be 9 :)
so why does 4/9 stay the same?
because we already have 9 in the denominator
we want 2/3 to have the same denominator as 4/9 so we multiply 2/3 with 3 both parts :)
so when we do, we get 6/9 and 4/9, both have the same denominator we stop :)
oooooooooooooooooooh ok im such a doof! i still need to wright it out again so i can see it all at once. can you help me with that?
lol alright first write down 2/3 and next to it 4/9
k
we want both to have the same denominator, what can we do? hmmm we know that 3x3 = 9 so we multiply both parts of 2/3 with 3
what do we get now? write the new value
6/9?
excellent! and write next to it 4/9
k
did we reach the point where both frations have the same denominator?
fractions*
yes lol
then we have answered the question! ^_^ okay another example from me , get the same denominator of the following: 1/2 and 3/4 what to do?
= 2/4 and 3/4?
excellent! my dear, you understand the concept now :) good luck!
