🔍 Typical Problems on This Worksheet
Here are the likely sections and how to solve them:
---
✔ Section 1: Find the common multiples of two numbers
Example:
*Find the common multiples of 4 and 6.*
Steps:
1. List multiples of each number:
- Multiples of 4: 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, ...
- Multiples of 6: 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, ...
2. Identify common ones: 12, 24, 36, ...
3. The
least common multiple (LCM) is
12.
✔ Answer: Common multiples are 12, 24, 36, ...
---
✔ Section 2: Use common multiples to write equivalent fractions
Example:
*Write 1/4 and 1/6 with a common denominator.*
Steps:
1. Find LCM of 4 and 6 → LCM = 12
2. Convert each fraction:
- 1/4 = (1×3)/(4×3) = 3/12
- 1/6 = (1×2)/(6×2) = 2/12
3. So, 1/4 = 3/12 and 1/6 = 2/12
✔ Answer: 3/12 and 2/12

✔ Section 3: Fill in blanks for equivalent fractions
Example:
*1/2 = ?/4*
Steps:
- Multiply numerator and denominator by 2: (1×2)/(2×2) = 2/4
✔ Answer: 2
---
✔ Section 4: Match equivalent fractions
Example:
*Which of these is equivalent to 2/5?*
A) 4/10
B) 3/7
C) 6/15
Steps:
- Check if they simplify to 2/5:
- 4/10 = 2/5 ✔️
- 6/15 = 2/5 ✔️
- Both A and C are correct.
✔ Answer: A and C
---
✔ Challenge: Work with a partner – write your own problem
This encourages students to create a question involving common multiples or equivalent fractions. Example:
> "Write 3/8 and 5/12 as equivalent fractions with a common denominator."
Solution:
- LCM of 8 and 12 = 24
- 3/8 = 9/24
- 5/12 = 10/24

🛠️ General Tips:
- Always find the
LCM when working with fractions.
- Use multiplication to convert fractions to have the same denominator.
- Practice listing multiples until you spot overlaps.
