Convert [tex]\frac{13}{15}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{6}{7}[/tex] to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 105, their least common denominator (LCD).

Provide your answer below:

[tex]\frac{13}{15} = \frac{\square}{105}, \frac{6}{7} = \frac{\square}{105}[/tex]

Answer :

To convert [tex]\(\frac{13}{15}\)[/tex] and [tex]\(\frac{6}{7}\)[/tex] to equivalent fractions with a denominator of 105, we can follow these steps:

1. Identify the Least Common Denominator (LCD):
The LCD given for these fractions is 105.

2. Convert [tex]\(\frac{13}{15}\)[/tex] to have a denominator of 105:
- First, find out how many times 15 goes into 105. To do this, divide 105 by 15:
[tex]\[
105 \div 15 = 7
\][/tex]
- Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of [tex]\(\frac{13}{15}\)[/tex] by 7:
[tex]\[
\frac{13}{15} = \frac{13 \times 7}{15 \times 7} = \frac{91}{105}
\][/tex]

3. Convert [tex]\(\frac{6}{7}\)[/tex] to have a denominator of 105:
- Similarly, find out how many times 7 goes into 105. Divide 105 by 7:
[tex]\[
105 \div 7 = 15
\][/tex]
- Multiply both the numerator and the denominator of [tex]\(\frac{6}{7}\)[/tex] by 15:
[tex]\[
\frac{6}{7} = \frac{6 \times 15}{7 \times 15} = \frac{90}{105}
\][/tex]

In summary, the equivalent fractions are:
[tex]\[
\frac{13}{15} = \frac{91}{105}, \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{6}{7} = \frac{90}{105}
\][/tex]
