Quinton and Hunter are biking on trails in Katy Trail State Park. They biked 5/6 miles in the morning and 5/8 miles in the afternoon. Did they bike a greater distance in the morning or in the afternoon?

all you have to do is find a least common multiple for 6 and 8 in this case it would be 24 because 6's multiples are 6,12,18,24 and 8's multiples are 8,16,24 and many more but these are the lcm so in it would be
morning- 20/24
and
afternoon - 15/24
the answer is the morning
