Rewrite the fractions 3/4 and 5/16 as fractions with a least common denominator.
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

12/16 and 5/16

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two fractions with denominator 4 and 16.

To find the least common denominator, of 4 and 16.

Factorise 4 and 16.

4 = 2x2  

16 = 2x2x2x2

i.e. 4 divides 16.

Hence  Least common denominator = bigger number = 16

Make the given fractions to equivalent fractions with common denominator 16.

3/4 = 4(3)/4(4) = 12/16 and

5/16 = 1(5)/16(1)= 5/16

Hence answer would be

12/16 and 5/16

Can someone walk me through how to do this problem please?​
Sholpan [36]

Hey!

----------------------------------------------------------------

We Know:

m∠AED = 34°

m∠EAD = 112°

----------------------------------------------------------------

Solution:

You notice 4 small triangles in both triangles. That shows that both triangles are the same.

The angles are the same for m∠BDC and m∠AED.

The angles are the same for m∠ADB and m∠EAD

----------------------------------------------------------------

Angles:

m∠BDC = 34°

m∠ADB = 112°

----------------------------------------------------------------

Congruent Angles:

m∠AED ≡ m∠BDC

m∠EAD ≡ m∠ADB

----------------------------------------------------------------

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
