KnowledgeBoat · Accepted Answer

(i) Let us find L.C.M of 8 and 12: L.C.M. = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24. Multiplying both terms by 24 to convert fractions to whole number: Hence, the answer is 3 : 2 (ii) Let us find L.C.M of 9 and 6: L.C.M. = 3 x 3 x 2 = 18. Multiplying both terms by 18 to convert fractions to whole number: Hence, the answer is 2 : 3 (iii) Let us find L.C.M of 3 and 6: L.C.M. = 3 x 2 = 6. Multiplying both terms by 6 to convert fractions to whole number: Hence, the answer is 4 : 5 (iv) Let us find L.C.M of 4, 6 and 8: L.C.M. = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 24. Multiplying each term by 24 to convert fractions to whole number: Hence, the answer is 6 : 4 : 3 (v) Convert to improper fractions: . Let us find L.C.M of 3, 2 and 4: L.C.M. = 2 x 2 x 3 = 12. Multiplying each term by 12 to convert fractions to whole number: Hence, the answer is 20 : 30 : 21 (vi) Convert to improper fractions: . Let us find L.C.M of 3, 4 and 6: L.C.M. = 2 x 2 x 3 = 12. Multiplying each term by 12 to convert fractions to whole number: Hence, the answer is 28 : 39 : 14
