Well do you know what their least common denominator is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Okay :) \(\color{red}{4}~=~4,~8,~12,~16\) \(\color{red}{6}~=~6,~12,~18\) Now do you know?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

What factor do that BOTH have?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

......

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Good :P Now you must divide 12/4 and 6/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 and 0.5

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Oops I meant 12/6 not 6/12

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3 and 2

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Good! Now we take the 3, and multiply it by \(\frac{3}{4}\), and take the 2 and multiply it by \(\frac{5}{6}\) |dw:1415826538346:dw|
