Restate and type your question properly so it makes sense.
3/4 = 6/8
To find equivalent fractions with a common denominator, you need to first identify the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. In this case, the denominators are 4 and 8.
The LCM of 4 and 8 is 8, as it is the smallest number that is divisible by both 4 and 8.
Now, let's convert 3/4 and 5/8 to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 8:
For 3/4:
To convert 4 to 8, we need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8
For 5/8:
Since the denominator is already 8, we don't need to make any changes.
So, the equivalent fractions with a common denominator of 8 are:
3/4 = 6/8
5/8 = 5/8
