Question

Check whether the given fractions are equivalent $\frac{5}{9}and\frac{30}{54}$.

Answer 1

We know that, if we have two fractions in simplified form and are equal then they are said to be equivalent fractions.

As we have, given fractions are $\frac{5}{9}and\frac{30}{54}$

Now we can convert the second fraction into simplified form as follows:

$$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow \frac{30}{54}=\frac{5\times 6}{9\times 6} \\ \Rightarrow \frac{30}{54}=\frac{5}{9} \end{gathered}$$

So, the fraction $\frac{30}{54}$can be simplified to $\frac{5}{9}$.

Hence, both the fractions are equivalent.
