Well, honey, to rewrite 5/8 and 7/10 with the least common denominator, you first need to find the least common multiple of 8 and 10, which is 40. Then, you can rewrite 5/8 as 25/40 and 7/10 as 28/40. Voila! Now you have them both with the same denominator, making it easier to compare those sassy fractions.

I suggest you do the following: 1) Find a common denominator of 5 and 7. (It need not be the least common denominator; multiplying the two denominators works for our purposes.) 2) Convert both fractions to equivalent fractions with this denominator. 3) Compare the numerators of the fractions thus converted.
1. 2 3/5+ 3 4/5 Rewrite the mixed numbers as fractions; = 13/5 + 19/5 Write the sum of the numerators over the common denominator; = (13 + 19)/5 = 32/5 Rewrite the fraction as a mixed number; = 6 2/5 2. -2 1/5 + (- 4 5/8) Rewrite the mixed numbers as fractions; = -11/5 + (-37/8) Multiply by 8/8 the first fraction, and by 5/5 the second fraction in order to have the same denominator (because LCD is 40); = -88/40 + (-185/40) Write the sum of the numerators over the common denominator; = -(88 + 185)/40 = -273/40 Rewrite the fraction as a mixed number; = -6 33/40
No because if you find a common denominator (6) then 2 over 3 would equal 4 over 6.
5 over 7 is greater than 3 over five. You have to find a common denominator. The common denominator is 35 so 5 over 7 would become 25 over 35 and 3 over 5 would become 21 over 35. 25/35 > 21/35 = 5/7 > 3/5
4/17 can be written 40/170, and 3/10 can be written as 51/170. When written that way they have (least) common denominator 170.
At least two fractions are needed to determine a least common denominator.
You need at least two fractions to determine a least common denominator.
The least common denominator would be 50
At least one other fraction is needed to determine a common denominator.
You need at least one more fraction in order to have a common denominator.
A common denominator, though not the least one, is 200.
Two or more fractions or mixed numbers are required to have a least common denominator.
At least two fractions are needed to determine a common denominator.
The least common denominator between fractions 1 over 32 and 8 over 64 is 64.
There is no exact least common denominator. Six does not go into 38
