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)
Hopefully I could help! :)
