Question

Find equivalent fractions for $\frac{8}{7}$ with

1. numerator as 64
2. denominator as 49

Answer 1

Give fraction is $\frac{8}{7}$

Since we know that 8 $\times$ 8 = 64, to find an equivalent fraction with numerator as 64, we just need to multiply both numerator and denominator with 8.

$\frac{8}{7}$ = $\frac{8\times 8}{7\times 8}$ = $\frac{64}{56}$

Since we know that 7 $\times$ 7 = 49, to find an equivalent fraction with denominator as 49, we just need to multiply both numerator and denominator with 7.

$\frac{8}{7}$ = $\frac{8\times 7}{7\times 7}$ = $\frac{56}{49}$
