anonymous · Answer

2 goes into 18 and 30

anonymous · Answer

There needs to be two fractions to find a common denominator.

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

hint: 18=2*3*3
30=2*3*5

mathmale · Answer

I think you mean "greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator of 18/30"
not common denominator.  Try again.  "Reduce" 18/30 to lowest form.

anonymous · Answer

ARE YOU TRYING TO FIND THE LEAST COMMON DENOMINATOR OR THE MOST COMMON DENOMNATOR?

mathmale · Answer

Neither.  Find the greatest common FACTOR.

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

$$\frac{ 18 }{ 30 }=\frac{ \cancel {2*3}*3 }{ \cancel {2*3}*5 }$$

mathmale · Answer

Nice work, Alex!  Thanks for showing how you arrived at that result.  Now, @Electronia , please do the same thing to each of the given possible answers.  If your results include 3/5, you've found a solution; otherwise y ou have not.

thx mathmale :)

electronia · Answer

I can, I need a answer BIGGER than 18/30

anonymous · Answer

So.... you need to find an equivalent fraction with larger numbers? Or you need a larger fraction?

alexandervonhumboldt2 · Answer

to find which fraction is larger you need to make all denominators the same :)
