How I’d do it:
5/6 three times makes 15/6. Made into a mixed fraction is 2 3/6, which in its simplest form is 2 1/2.
When converted to ounces, assuming that 6/6 is one complete ounce, then you get 2.5 ounces.
The total weight she picked up is 2.5 ounces.
The least common denominator for the question you have supplied me with is 10. The least common multiple of the denominators, 5 and 10, is 10, making the LCD 10.
She will pay $1.50 for the hairbrush and her mum paid $1.50 as well
GCF means greatest common factor and LCM means least common multiple. ;)
