Chapter 11, Problem 14PT

To determine

Find the LCD of the pair of expressions $\frac{5}{h};\frac{6}{3h}$

Answer to Problem 14PT

LCD of $\frac{5}{h};\frac{6}{3h}$is $3h$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The expressions: $\frac{5}{h};\frac{6}{3h}$

Concept Used:

The least common denominator is the smallest number of all the common multiples of the denominators when 2 or more fractions are given..

Calculation:

LCD is least common denominator. Here denominators are $h$ and $3h$

So the Least common denominator would be that smallest number that is divisible by all denominators. It is $3h$

Thus, LCD of $\frac{5}{h};\frac{6}{3h}$ is $3h$ .
