noelle is drawing fraction bars to model the sum of 1/5 and 3/4. What is the smallest number of equally sized pieces each fraction bar can be broken into to find the sum?

the smallest number of equally sized pieces is 20

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the smallest number of equally sized pieces is as follows:

Given that

The sum of 1 by 5 and 3/4

Now

if we sum it

= 1 ÷ 5 + 3 ÷ 4

= 4 + 15 ÷ 20

= 19 ÷ 20

Now as if we do the lcm so the denominator sum be 20

Therefore the smallest number of equally sized pieces is 20
