Answer:

A pair of fractions as a pair of fractions with the smallest common denominator are
(4)/(6) and
(5)/(6) .

Explanation:

Given fractions are
(2)/(3) and
(5)/(6)

Find L.C.M (least common multiple) of
3 and
6

3 = 3 × 1

6 = 2 × 3 × 1

L.C.M (least common multiple) of
3 and
6 is
3

Multiply numerator and denominator of
(2)/(3) by
2.


(2)/(3)=(2(2))/(3(2)) =(4)/(6)

Therefore, pair of fractions as a pair of fractions with the smallest common denominator are
(4)/(6) and
(5)/(6)
