Question

Rewrite each fraction with a denominator of 24 2/3 5/8

Answer 1

A)16/24

B)15/24

Explanation:

We were told to rewrite so that the denominator will be 24

A)2/3

This can be rewritten as 16/24, so that the denominator is now 24. And if we divide the numerator (16) by factor of 8 and the denominator (24) by factor of 8. Then we have 2/3.

OR

[2/3 × 8/8] = 16/24

B)5/8

This can be rewritten as 15/24, so that the denominator is now 24. And if we divide the numerator (15) by factor of 3 and the denominator (24) by factor of 3. Then we have 5/8

OR

(5/8 × 3/3)= 15/24
