Question

Find four equivalent fractions of the given fraction:

$\frac{8}{9}$

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 $\frac{8}{9}$.

Let us multiply $2$ in both the numerator and denominator $=\frac{8\times 2}{9\times 2}=\frac{16}{18}$

So, $\frac{16}{18}$ is an equivalent fraction of $\frac{8}{9}$.

Siimilarly multiply $3,4,5$ in both the numerator and denominator one by one to obtain $3$ more equivalent fractions of $\frac{8}{9}$.

Multiplying with $3$ $=\frac{8\times 3}{9\times 3}=\frac{24}{27}$

Multiplying with $4$ $=\frac{8\times 4}{9\times 4}=\frac{32}{36}$

Multiplying with $5$ $=\frac{8\times 5}{9\times 5}=\frac{40}{45}$

Hence, $\frac{16}{18}$, $\frac{24}{27}$, $\frac{32}{36}$, $\frac{40}{45}$ are the four equivalent fractions of $\frac{8}{9}$.
