Answer 1

Answer: 6/12 and 10/12

12/24 and 20/24

Explanation:

Jessica bought 1/2 pound of roast beef and 5/6 pound of ham.

1st option: 8/16 and 10/16

We will reduce them to lowest term

8/16 = 1/2

10/16 = 5/8

2nd option: 6/12 and 10/12

We will reduce them to lowest term

6/12 = 1/2

10/12 = 5/6

3rd option: 5/10 and 8/10

We will reduce them to lowest term

5/10 = 1/2

8/10 = 4/5

4th option: 12/24 and 20/24

We will reduce them to lowest term

12/24 = 1/2

20/24 = 5/6
