OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

I am putting the questions down

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

First you want to find your denominator. I believe that is the bottom number.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to find that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@rainbow_rocks03 to find the denominator you need to find the least common factor that they share.

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

LCF or LDC OR are they the same thing?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LCM. Sorry multiple not factor.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So for 6 and 9 what is the smallest or least common multiple that they share?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

oh, its alright...so the LCM for 6 & 9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Do you have an idea what it would be?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

the LCM for 6 & 9 is 18?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. So that is your denominator.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now for LCF/R and LCF/L

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

so now it is 6/18 & 9/18 , right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You now have ?/18.

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

@haleyelizabeth2017 @kimbllse777 @A.S.L.

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

umm...idk

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

oh wait!

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

15/19 ? or no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To find the numerator you find the LCF for the Left Denom. and for the R Denom. No

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the smallest factor for 6? And what is the smallest factor for 9?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

IDK

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What are factors for 6?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Like for 10 they are 2 and 5. The smallest would be 2.

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

factors of 6 are 2 and 3...so it would be 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Now for 9?

OpenStudy (rainbow_rocks03):

factors of 9 are 3 and 9 so 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. So now you cross multiply. 2•4 3•5 and the you add them together |dw:1444333528189:dw|
