1.	Convert the given fractions into like fractions.3/8, 1/6
Answer» Least common multiple of 8 and 6 is 24 So, make 24 as common denominator \(\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\times3}{8\times3}=\frac{9}{24},\) \(\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1\times4}{6\times4}=\frac{4}{24}\) So, \(\frac{9}{24},\frac{4}{24}\) are required like fractions.

Answer»

Least common multiple of 8 and 6 is 24

So, make 24 as common denominator

\(\frac{3}{8}=\frac{3\times3}{8\times3}=\frac{9}{24},\) \(\frac{1}{6}=\frac{1\times4}{6\times4}=\frac{4}{24}\)

So, \(\frac{9}{24},\frac{4}{24}\) are required like fractions.
