To find the least common denominator (LCD) for three quarters (3/4) and two thirds (2/3), first identify the denominators: 4 and 3. The multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, and so on, while the multiples of 3 are 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, and so on. The smallest common multiple is 12, so the LCD for three quarters and two thirds is 12.
Two thirds (2/3) is less than three quarters (3/4). When converted to decimals, two thirds is approximately 0.67, while three quarters is 0.75. Thus, three quarters represents a larger portion than two thirds.
One. As three quarters of twelve is 9, and two thirds of twelve is 8. :-)
1/2 or .5
3/4 x 20/3 = 5
The lowest common denominator would be twelve!
