○ 1/2
○ 1

1. choose a common denominator for 2/4 and 1/8. choose all that apply. * 2 points

○ 2
○ 8
○ 24
○ 12

Explanation:

Step1: Estimate $\frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{5}{10}$

$\frac{1}{3} \approx 0.33$, $\frac{5}{10}=0.5$

Step2: Calculate the difference

$0.33 - 0.5 \approx -0.17$, closest to 0

Step3: Identify common denominators

A common denominator of $\frac{2}{4}$ (simplified to $\frac{1}{2}$) and $\frac{1}{8}$ is a multiple of 2 and 8. Multiples of 8: 8, 24...; 2 is not a multiple of 8, 12 is not a multiple of 8.

Answer:

1. 0
2. 8, 24
