Answer: To find the least common denominator (LCD) of two fractions, we need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators.
In this case, the fractions are:
1/6 and 5/9
The denominators are 6 and 9.
The least common multiple (LCM) of 6 and 9 is 18.
So, the least common denominator (LCD) of 1/6 and 5/9 is 18
We can write both fractions with 18 as denominator:
1/6 = 3/18
5/9 = 10/18
So, the least common denominator of 1/6 and 5/9 is 18.
