Answer 25

Ok ill try my best

Answer 26

lets do each one by itself

first lets look at 15/4.. its going to be easiest if we change the way 15/4 looks

Answer 27

15/4 is also the same a 3 and 3/4

Answer 28

how are they the same ?

Answer 29

well 4/4 is one right

Answer 30

yep :)

Answer 31

it'll be way easier if all the numbers have the same denominator... then working ur way through to get their simplest forms, then mapping back to which one changed to what, then arranging it....but that's a whole class on its own :P

Answer 32

but we have 15 fourths

Answer 33

yea.....

Answer 34

must be a long reply

Answer 35

hmm lets do this sasos way its going to be easier cause i think i read the problem wrong

Answer 50

i got that just by changing the : and to all to /

Answer 51

do you get that?

Answer 52

the last one was 18/6

Answer 53

ok

Answer 54

ok sweet now we need to look at the numbers on the bottom...

Answer 55

we want to change every fraction so that the numbers on the bottom are all equal

Answer 56

this makes it easy to compare the numbers

Answer 57

so on the bottom of each we have

4, 5, 15, 1, and 6

Answer 58

we need to find the lowest number that all of those go into

Answer 59

i like to start with the biggest number

Answer 60

look at 15 do they all go into 15?...

Answer 61

nope.

Answer 62

nope not evenly

Answer 63

so that was 15 *1 = 15

now we try 15 * 2 = 30

Answer 64

do all of them go into 30?

Answer 65

ummmm no????????????????

Answer 66

Answer 67

4, 5, 15, 1, or 6
