Answered by Ms. Sue
Your teacher probably wants you to find the common multiple of 2, 5, 6, and 8.

The simpler way is to convert each of these fractions to decimals.

1/2 = 0.5
2/5 = 0.4
3/6 = 0.5
3/8 = 0.375
4/6 = 0.67

Answered by Steven Hernandez

1/2 = 0.5
2/5 = 0.4
3/6 = 0.5
3/8 = 0.375
4/6 = 0.67

I used a calculator and divided the numerator by the denominator.
