Question 4(d) :

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

numerator 27

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, $3\times 9=27$.

This means we need to multiply both the denominator and the numerator by 9.

Therefore, the required equivalent fraction $=\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times 9}{5\times 9}=\frac{27}{45}$
