Math Problem Statement
Find the common denominator for the fractions with denominators 2 and 5, and 2 and 9.
Solution
The image shows a math exercise about finding a common denominator for fractions. Here's the breakdown:
- The title of the exercise is: "B2. Quy đồng mẫu số", which is Vietnamese for "Finding a common denominator".
- There are two parts:
- a) 2 và 5: This means finding a common denominator for fractions with denominators 2 and 5.
- The least common multiple (LCM) of 2 and 5 is 10. Therefore:
- b) 2 và 9: This involves finding a common denominator for denominators 2 and 9.
- The LCM of 2 and 9 is 18. Therefore:
- a) 2 và 5: This means finding a common denominator for fractions with denominators 2 and 5.
