Answer: -1.5/6 = -1/4; -1.7/9 = -17/90
Step-by-step explanation: Yeah, I'm not exactly sure what the problem is asking for, but this how I interpreted it. Use the LCD of the fractions -1.5/6 and -1.7/9 to find equivalent fractions with integer numerators and denominators.
For me, LCD doesn't help with solving the problem that much.
But anyways, the first fraction, -1.5, can be turned in an integer if you multiply the entire fraction by 2. So the result would be -3/12. You can simplify this to -1/4.
The second fraction, when multiplied by 10 yields -17/90. 17 is a prime number and is not a factor of 90, thus the equivalent fraction of -1.7/9 is 17/90.
Hope this helped.
