3/18 = 15/90

13/15 = 78/90

To rewrite it as the same denominator you have to find a number that they both go into. So 90 is the lowest number that both 18 and 15 go into. 18 x 5 is 90 and 15 x 6 is 90 so what you do to the denominator you have to do to the numerator. So then you do 3 x 5 which equals 15 and you have to do 13 x 6 which equals 78. So the equation would end up being with the two fractions 15/90 and 78/90.
