Answer:

24 does not work as a common denominator because it is not the Lowest Common Multiple of 6, 4 and 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

In that above question, we are told that:

A student is trying to find the sum of 5/6 + 3/4 + 1/5

Step 1

The first step would be to find the Lowest Common Multiple of the denominators (6, 4, 5).

Lowest Common Multiple can be defined as the number that is the lowest quantity of the multiple of 2 or 3 number.

The lowest common multiple for 6, 4, 5 = 60. This is that number that the 3 denominators can be divided in

Hence,

5/6 + 3/4 + 1/5

= 5 × 10 + 3 × 15 + 12× 1/60

= 50 + 45 + 12/60

= 107/60

= 1 47/60

24 does not work because it is not the Lowest Common Multiple of 6, 4 and 5.

The lowest common multiple for the 3 denominators = 60, therefore 60 should be used.

15/4 in to equal mixed number
Temka [501]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

  \dfrac{15}{4}=\dfrac{12+3}{4}=\dfrac{12}{4}+\dfrac{3}{4}\\\\=3+\dfrac{3}{4}=\boxed{3\dfrac{3}{4}}

__

The integer part of the mixed number is the quotient when the numerator is divided by the denominator. The remainder from that division is the numerator of the fraction.

  15/4 = 15 ÷ 4 = 3 r 3 = 3 3/4
