Answer 1

Answer:

Down below

Step-by-step explanation:

You would first see what number you can multipulcate in 3 and 4 (in this case it is 12) you would then do timed how ever many times you had to multiply 3 x 4 = 12 so then you would also do times for the the 3, 3 x 3 = 9, which gives you 1 9/12, you would then head to the other number and do 3 x 4= 12 since 4 is how many times it took to get to 12, you would then do 2 x 4 = 8, which gives you 2 4/12, you would then add both the numbers together which gives you 4 5/12

Hope this was helpful!

Answer 2

To get the common denominators:

Rose has 1 3/4 yards or 1 9/12 yards
Lily has 2 2/3 yards or 2 8/12 yards

1 9/12 + 2 8/12 = 3 17/12 = 4 5/12 yards
