Question

What is 3/8 as an equivalent fraction with the LCM as the denominator?

Answer 1

Answer:

3/8 = 9/24

Step-by-step explanation:

So here we have a basic multiplication problem and finding the LCM of 8 and 3. The first step in this problem is finding the LCM of 3/8. The LCM of 3 and 8 is 24. So yay! we have the bottom half of our answer!

Ex.-

The LCM of 8 and 3 is 24.

So now we have to find an equivalent fraction. Since we already know that 8 (the denominator in the original equation) can be multiplied by 3 to equal 24, we use 3 (the numerator in the original equation) and multiply it by itself to get an equivalent fraction.

Ex.-

8 x 3 = 24

3 x 3 = 9

Now that we have our numerator and denominator, all we have to do now is put them together to get our answer.

Ex.-

9/24 (answer) = 3/8 (original equation)
