Question 4(b) :

Find the equivalent fraction of$\frac{3}{5}$ having:

numerator 9

Answer 1

Equivalent fractions are fractions which represent the same part of the whole.
To find an equivalent fraction of a given fraction, we may multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by the same number.

Now, $3\times 3=9$.

This means we need to multiply both the denominator and the numerator by 3.

Therefore, the required equivalent fraction $=\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times 3}{5\times 3}=\frac{9}{15}$
