2 Answers

Hi There!

Answer:

20

Explanation:

To find a common denominator you need to find a number that both denominators you start with equally go into the denominator.

A trick that my teacher taught me was to multiply both denominators together to get the common denominator.

5 * 4 = 20

So now we know that the common denominator is 20.

Then what you multiplied to get that numbered you want to do to the numerator as well.

Hope This Helps :)
