Question

anonymous · Answer

LCD as in lowest common denominator? First of all, simplify the first fraction and tell me what you get.

No it's not @mayankdevnani.
@EmoLover3, you want to find the lowest common denominator that the fractions can have.
The fractions we have are:
$$\frac{1}{3}\times\frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{4}$$
and
$$\frac{11}{16}$$
To do this, you need to find the lowest common multiple of the denominators.
The denominators are 4 and 16, so we need to think, what is the lowest number which both 4 and 16 divide into?
The answer is 16, since 4x4=16 and 1x16=16.
So the LCD is 16.
Is there anything I can explain better for you? Don't listen to @mayankdevnani , I have no idea what he's talking about.

As an equivalent fraction, we need to get 1/4 as a fraction wth 16 as the denominator. So we need to multiply on top and bottom by 4 to get:
$$\frac{4}{16}$$
