Question

consider these two fractions. convert them into a pair of fractions with a common denominator.\\(\frac{3}{8}\\) and \\(\frac{1}{4}\\)\
enter the correct numbers in the boxes.\
\\(\frac{3}{8} = \frac{square}{square} \times \frac{3}{square} = \frac{square}{8}\\) \\(\frac{1}{4} = \frac{square}{square} \times \frac{square}{square} = \frac{square}{square}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Keep first fraction unchanged

$\frac{3}{8} = \frac{1}{1} \times \frac{3}{8} = \frac{3}{8}$

Step2: Find common denominator 8

To get denominator 8 for $\frac{1}{4}$, multiply numerator and denominator by 2:
$\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{2} \times \frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8}$

Answer:

For $\boldsymbol{\frac{3}{8}}$: The boxes are filled as $\frac{1}{1}$, $\frac{3}{8}$, and $\frac{3}{8}$ (in order).
For $\boldsymbol{\frac{1}{4}}$: The boxes are filled as $\frac{2}{2}$, $\frac{1}{4}$, and $\frac{2}{8}$ (in order).
