Q. Which of the following is a common denominator of 34 \frac{3}{4} and 15? \frac{1}{5} ? \newlineA. 3535\newlineB. 2020\newlineC. 1515\newlineD. 3030
  1. Find Common Denominator: To find a common denominator for the fractions (34)(\frac{3}{4}) and (15)(\frac{1}{5}), we need to find a number that is a multiple of both denominators 44 and 55.
  2. Calculate Smallest Common Multiple: The smallest common multiple of 44 and 55 is their product since they are relatively prime (they have no common factors other than 11).
  3. Calculate Product: Calculating the product of 44 and 55 gives us 4×5=204 \times 5 = 20.
  4. Determine Common Denominator: Therefore, 2020 is a common denominator for the fractions (34)(\frac{3}{4}) and (15)(\frac{1}{5}).
