We have to express the fractions with the LCD. LCD is the Lowest Common Denominator. First we have to find the Lowest Common Multiplicator for the denominators : LCM (4, 16, 8) = 16. So LCD is also 16. 3 / 4 = (3 * 4) / (4 * 4) = 12 / 6. 7 / 16 = 7 / 16. 5 / 8 = (5 * 2) / (8 * 2) = 10 / 16. Answer: These fractions are: 12/16, 7/16 and 10/16.
