Question 4(c) :

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

denominator 30

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, $5\times 6=30$.

This means we need to multiply both the denominator and the numerator by 6.

Therefore, the required equivalent fraction $=\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times 6}{5\times 6}=\frac{18}{30}$
