What is a common denominator for 1 3/4 and 1 4/5

Sagot :

Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

A common denominator is a number that is a multiple of both denominators.

To find it just write the multiplication table of the numbers and find a number that appears in both of them.

In this case, we have 4 and 5:

4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40

5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50

Since it only asks for a common denominator, it can be 20, 40, 60, 80... Although it's usually smarter to pick the lower number.
