Question

Rename 2/5 and 1/2 using the least common denominator

Answer 1

the common denominator is 10 (between 5 and 2)

for each numerator:

we divide the common denominator with the denominator of each fraction and then multiply with the numerator of the fraction

first fraction's numerator:

10 (c.d.) : 5 (denominator) = 2

2 * 2 (numerator) = 4

second one:

10 (c.d.) : 2 (denominator) = 5

5 * 1 (numerator) = 5

The fractions are 4/10 and 5/10
