Lynne used 3/8 cup of flour and 1/3 cup of sugar in a recipe. Which number below is a common denominator for 3/8 and 1/3 ?

Respuesta :

3 and 8 have the common number or denominator 24 because 3 times 8 is 24
3/8 and 1/3 = 3/8+1/3  24 is the common denominator. 3x3=9 8x3=24 1x8 =8 3x8=24 

9/24 + 8/24 = 17/24
