Find the equivalent fraction of 3/5 having denominator 30 and numerater 24 |
|
Answer» Question 1 Leave the fraction in ratio form, 3 : 5 = Numerator : 30 You can see that to CHANGE the denominator from 5 to 30, you have to multiply 5 by 6 so the numerator of the fraction you are asked to FIND also has to be MULTIPLIED by 6. 3 : 5 = (3 × 6) : 30 3 : 5 = 18 : 30 Change 18 : 30 into fraction form to get Question 2 Do the same as in question 1 (except that you fill in the space of the numerator since it is the number given). 3 : 5 = 24 : Denominator To get 24, 3 is multiplied by 8 therefore 5 is also multiplied by 8 to get the denominator. 3 : 5 = 24 : (5 × 8) 3 : 5 = 24 : 40 Hence the equivalent fraction is |
