4 ×5 1 2 = 10 5 6 10 = 3 5

5 3 4 1 5

6 What fraction of a whole baguette is there?
3 4 1 5 1 5 What fraction of a whole baguette is there? We can’t add quarters to fifths. Which common denominator could we use instead? Why?

7 3 4 1 5 ×5 3 4 = 20 15 ×4 4 1 5 = 20 19 20

8 3 4 2 5

9 What can you say about the answer?
3 4 2 5 2 5 What can you say about the answer?

10 We already know that the lowest common multiple of 4 and 5 is 20. ? ? 20 It is now possible to add the fractions 23 20 How many whole baguettes is this, and how much is left over? 1 3 20

11 Changing to a mixed number here would give a better idea of size
