Answer:
3/5 has the smallest denominator
Step-by-step explanation:
Question:
There exist infinitely many common fractions a/b , where a > 0 and b > 0 and for which 3/5 < a/b< 2/3. Of these common fractions, which has the smallest denominator? Express your answer as a common fraction.
Solution
A Common fraction is a rational number written in the form: a/b. Where a and b are both integers.
The denominator and numerator in this case are greater than zero. That is, they are non zeros.
The least common denominator (LCD) of two non- zero denominators is the smallest whole number that is divisible by each of the denominators.
To find the smallest denominator between 3/5 and 2/3, we would convert the fractions to equivalent fractions with a common denominator by finding their LCM (lowest common multiple).
When comparing two fractions with like denominators, the larger fraction is the one with the greater numerator and the smaller fraction is one with the smaller numerator.
In our solution after comparing, the smaller fraction would have the smallest denominator.
Find attached the solution.
After tax price $37.80
Sale tax - 8% or $2.80
9.75 dollars divided by 3 pounds equals 3.25 per pound
The answer is -1 because when cross simplifying you get 0/2-2/0 which =-2/2 and that simplified is -1
The answer is -1
The answer would be 28.

Here's my work:
Remember PEMDAS:
- Parentheses
- Exponents
- Multiplication
- Division
- Addition
- Subtraction
Also, remember to always go left to right.
(6+2)^2-4*3
Square everything in the parenthesis.
36+4-4*3
Multiply where you see a multiplication symbol from left to right.
36+4-12
Add.
40-12
Subtract.
28
Done!
