The correct Answer is:
To determine which of the given options contains like fractions, we need to follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand Like Fractions**: - Like fractions are fractions that have the same denominator. 2. **Examine the First Option**: - The fractions are \( \frac{1}{5}, \frac{2}{5}, \frac{5}{3} \). - Here, the denominators are 5, 5, and 3. - Since \( \frac{1}{5} \) and \( \frac{2}{5} \) have the same denominator (5), but \( \frac{5}{3} \) has a different denominator (3), this option does not consist entirely of like fractions. 3. **Examine the Second Option**: - The fractions are \( \frac{6}{16}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{19}{8} \). - The denominators are 16, 8, and 8. - We can simplify \( \frac{6}{16} \) to \( \frac{3}{8} \) (by dividing both numerator and denominator by 2). - Now we have \( \frac{3}{8}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{19}{8} \) with all fractions having the same denominator (8). - Therefore, this option consists of like fractions. 4. **Examine the Third Option**: - The fractions are \( \frac{3}{2}, \frac{3}{7}, \frac{3}{5} \). - The denominators are 2, 7, and 5. - Since none of these fractions have the same denominator, this option does not consist of like fractions. 5. **Examine the Fourth Option**: - The option states "none of these." - Since we have already identified the second option as containing like fractions, this option is incorrect. ### Conclusion: The only option that contains like fractions is the **second option**: \( \frac{6}{16}, \frac{7}{8}, \frac{19}{8} \). ---
