In science experiment a plant grew 3/4 inch one week and 1/2 inch the next week use a common denominator to write an equivalent fraction for each fraction

Respuesta :

Answer:

Both fraction have a common denominator.

Thus, Length of plant increases in one week [tex]=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

and Length of plant increases in next week [tex]=\frac{2}{4}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Length of plant increases in one week [tex]=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

also,  Length of plant increases in next week [tex]=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Equivalent fraction are fractions having same value, even though they may look different.

Here, we have to use a common denominator to write an equivalent fraction.

Thus, multiply the denominator and numerator by 2 of the length of plant increases in next week  that is,

[tex]=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{2}{4}[/tex]

Thus, both fraction have a common denominator.

Thus, Length of plant increases in one week [tex]=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

and Length of plant increases in next week [tex]=\frac{2}{4}[/tex].
