In Dr. Dino's laboratory, Emek and Luna prepared balanced meals for young dinosaurs. One recipe required 3/8 of a bowl of chopped fruit and 2/8 of a bowl of vegetables before adding water. Later, they removed 1/8 of the fruit mixture because one dinosaur needed a smaller serving. Since all the fractions had the same denominator, they easily combine and separated the portions to make each recipe correctly. Every young dinosaur received a healthy meal made just for its needs.
