Question 5(b) :

Find the equivalent fraction of $\frac{36}{48}$ with:

denominator 4

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, $48÷12=4$.

This means we need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by 12.

Therefore, the required equivalent fraction $=\frac{36}{48}=\frac{36÷12}{48÷12}=\frac{3}{4}$
