Katherine bought a total of 14/16 pound of blue beads and silver beads at the store. The weight of the blue beads is 6/8 of the total weight.what is the weight of the blue beads?

Answer 1

it D 12/16

Explanation:

when doing that kind of thing think if you can multiply the smaller denominator buy something to get the larger denominator so in this case you had to multiply the denominator by 2 to get 16. so after you're done with that you mutiply the numerator by how many you multiplied the smaller denominator to get the numerator of the new fraction so in this case you multiply 6 by 2 to get 12. so the end result would be 12/16

Answer 2

Answer D

Explanation:

Because you need to find a common denominator 6x2=12 8x2=16 so it 12/16
