HELP! Sam needs 5
-
6
cup mashed bananas and
3
-
4
cup mashed strawberries for a recipe. He wants to find whether he needs more bananas or more strawberries.

How can he write
5
-
6
and
3
-
4
as a pair of fractions with the smallest common denominator?

The answers would be 10/12 and 9/12 hence he would need more strawberries

Step-by-step explanation:

12 is the lowest Common Denominator that can go into 6 and 4 so in order to get the denominator to 12 you have to multiply 5/6 by 2 and 3/4 by 3. This will also get you the answer of Sam needing more strawberries and not bananas.

Hope this helps!

maximum area = xy = (16)(32) = 512 ft2

to maximize the area of the garden, the side of the fence parallel to the side of the house should be 32 ft long, and the other two sides should both have length 16 ft.'
