Compare 5/8 and 7/12 by writing them with a common denominator. How many times do the numerators differ (larger numerator minus smaller numerator) after using LCM 24?

Question

Accepted Answer

1. LCM of 8 and 12 is 24. 5/8 = 15/24 and 7/12 = 14/24. Numerators 15 and 14 differ by 15 - 14 = 1.

Compare $\frac{5}{8}$ and $\frac{7}{12}$ by writing them with a common denominator. How many times do the numerators differ (larger numerator minus smaller numerator) after using LCM 24?
