It says in my homework sheet 'Rename each pair of fractions with common denominators'. But I seem to have problems with it. I don't know what I'm supposed to do. Please help me. This is due tomorrow and I don't wanna miss it. Thank you so much

So basically it sounds like it wants you to make the denominators match.
Here's an example:

3/4 and 1/2
First you would find the Least Common Multiple (LCM), which of these two numbers is 4.
3/4 and 2/4 Then you would multiply the denominator the same amount you multiplied the denominator.

and voila! 3/4 and 2/4 have matching denominators

Please ask questions if you are still confused!
