Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
1. 1/4 × 2/2 = 2/8 (denominator is 8)
2. 5/8 × 1 = 5/8 (denominator is 8)
Therefore, the common denominator is 8.
Answer:
the common multiple between 12 and 20 is 60
22/7 = 3.142857...
Let's see if we can beat this using a fraction with 113 as its denominator.
-------
3 x 120 = 360
-------
So, let's try out x = 360:
360/113 = 3.185.... (Too high)
How about x=350:
350/113 = 3.097... (Too low)
Let's try out x = 355:
355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)
--------
Let's now compare 22/7 and 355/113 to pi:
22/7 = 3.142857...
355/113 = 3.14159292 (Calculator value)
π = 3.141592654
-------
As we can see, 355/113 provides us with a better approximation of π. This means that x=355.
