Given the fractions:


(11)/(12)\text{and}(5)/(9)

Let's find the least common denominator of both fractions.

Here, the denominators are: 12 and 9

To find the LCD, let's find the prime factorization of both denominators:

• Prime factorization of 12 = ,2 x 2 x 3

,

• Prime factorization of 9 = ,3 x 3

Now, let's multiply each factor with the greatest number of times it occured in either 12 or 9:

2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 36

Therefore, the lowest common denominator is 36.

ANSWER:

36
