Given Fractions:
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 8 and 40:
LCD = LCM(8, 40) = 40
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (40):
15 is equal to 15 (15 = 15)
As a result,
15/40
and 3/8
Since the denominators are not common (not the same), we need to find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), which is equivalent to the Least Common Multiple of 8 and 40:
LCD = LCM(8, 40) = 40
Express the given fractions as equivalent fractions with respect to the LCD (40):
15/40
= 15/40
and 3/8
= 15/40
Since the equivalent fractions have common denominators, we can compare the numerators:15 is equal to 15 (15 = 15)
As a result,
15/40
is equal to 15/40
Therefore, 15/40
is equal to 3/8
, 15/40
= 3/8
