Specify 3 fractions with different denominators that have an lcd of 24

1/3, 1/4, 1/8 The answer given is not the only possible answer. You need to come up with 3 different fractions so that the LCD (least common denominator) So first, determine the prime factors of 24. 24 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 3 Now you want some denominators that will need all of those prime factors. For the above list of 3, 4, 8, only the 3 and 8 are important, since one of them uses the prime factor of 3 and the other uses 3 prime factors of 2, so the LCD for those 2 numbers is 24. The 3rd denominator could be almost anything that uses some combination of prime factors 2,2,2,3 such as 1/2, 1/4, 1/6, 1/12, etc. I just happened to pick 1/4. The only real restriction is that none of the denominators can use any extra prime factors. If they did. then the resulting LCD would not be equal to 24.

It is a percent with money involved too divide and you should have your answer
