\n" ); document.write( "Hints:
\n" ); document.write( "Get each denominator to the LCD, which in this case is 12.
\n" ); document.write( "For instance we multiply top and bottom of 3/4 by 3 to get to 9/12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "3/4 = (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12
\n" ); document.write( "2/3 = (2*4)/(3*4) = 8/12
\n" ); document.write( "1/2 = (1*6)/(2*6) = 6/12
\n" ); document.write( "1/3 = (1*4)/(3*4) = 4/12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In short,
\n" ); document.write( "3/4 = 9/12
\n" ); document.write( "2/3 = 8/12
\n" ); document.write( "1/2 = 6/12
\n" ); document.write( "1/3 = 4/12\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "To see why something like 3/4 = 9/12 is the case, draw a circle and split it into quarters. Shade 3 of them to represent 3/4.
\n" ); document.write( "Then split each slice into 3 equal pieces. That gives 4*3 = 12 smaller slices total. 9 of which are shaded.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "Similar situations occur for the other fractions.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
