Question

Linda needs 6/9 cup of strawberries and 3/4 cup mashed peach for a recipe. She wants to find whether she needs more peaches or strawberries. How can you write 6/9 and 3/4 as a pair of fractions with a common denominator?

Answer 1

Answer: Smashed Peach i.e.
`(27)/(36)`

Explanation:

Given

Linda needs
`(6)/(9)` cup of strawberries

and
`(3)/(4)` cup of mashed peach for a recipe

For two fractions to have the same denominator, take L.C.M. of the denominator

`\Rightarrow \text{L.C.M.(4,9)}=36`

`\therefore (6)/(9)=(6* 4)/(36)=(24)/(36)\\\\\Rightarrow (3)/(4)=(3* 7)/(36)=(27)/(36)`

Therefore, she needs more mashed peach for the recipe.
