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 \frac{18}{30}.


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 \frac{24}{40}.
