Question

Find four rational numbers equivalent to the following.
$8$

Answer 1

$8$ can also be written as $\frac{8}{1}$

To find equivalent rational number, we have to multiply and divide numerator with same number except $0$

$\therefore \frac{8}{1}=\frac{8\times 2}{1\times 2}=\frac{16}{2}$

$\therefore \frac{8}{1}=\frac{8\times 3}{1\times 3}=\frac{24}{3}$

$\therefore \frac{8}{1}=\frac{8\times 4}{1\times 4}=\frac{32}{4}$

$\therefore \frac{8}{1}=\frac{8\times 5}{1\times 5}=\frac{40}{5}$

So, equivalent numbers of $8$ are $\frac{16}{2},\frac{24}{3},\frac{32}{4},\frac{40}{5}$
