Question

Find four equivalent fractions of the given fraction:

$\frac{3}{5}$

Answer 1

Finding equivalent fractions:

To obtain equivalent fractions of a fraction, we have to either multiply or divide the same number in both the numerator and denominator.

The given fraction is $\frac{3}{5}$.

Let us multiply $2$ in both the numerator and denominator $=\frac{3\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{6}{10}$

So, $\frac{6}{10}$ is an equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{5}$.

Siimilarly multiply $3,4,5$ in both the numerator and denominator one by one to obtain $3$ more equivalent fractions of $\frac{3}{5}$.

Multiplying with $3$ $=\frac{3\times 3}{5\times 3}=\frac{9}{15}$

Multiplying with $4$ $=\frac{3\times 4}{5\times 4}=\frac{12}{20}$

Multiplying with $5$ $=\frac{3\times 5}{5\times 5}=\frac{15}{25}$

Hence, $\frac{6}{10}$, $\frac{9}{15}$, $\frac{12}{20}$, $\frac{15}{25}$ are the four equivalent fractions of $\frac{3}{5}$.
