My daughter brought this worksheet home and i'm so confused! I know we can figure out the Greatest Common factor and the Least common multiple, but I don't understand the slide method and according to the example, that doesn't seem to make sense. I thought the lowest term of 2 and 6 would be 1/3, not 2/3! And then, to further complicate things, the directions mention "in lowest terms of 24 and 36." Does this apply to all the problems? She only needs to do even ones, so that will help!

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks so much! Attached is the worksheet.
