This problem, it is said that a woman has three children who all need to take medication for the same illness.
00:05
We have been given the amount of medication needed by each child, and we need to determine how many milliliters of medication the woman will need to give each child a single dose of medicine.
00:15
Now, the first child needs 3 over 2 milliliters.
00:18
The second child needs 2 over 3 milliliters, and the next child needs 1 over 4 millimeters.
00:24
So the total amount required will be obtained by adding all of these.
00:27
Now consider the denominators 2, 3, and 4.
00:31
So we want the least common multiple of these three numbers, and that is going to be 12.
00:38
So let's convert these fractions so that the denominator is 12 for each of them.
00:45
So we need to multiply 2 by 6 to get 12, so we multiply the numerator by 6 as well.
00:51
Now for 2 over 3, 3 needs to be multiplied by 4 to obtain 12 in the denominator, so we multiply the numerator...
