Question

Find the equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{5}$ having denominator 30.

Answer 1

$\mathrm{Let}\frac{3}{5}=\frac{}{30}$

30 = 5 ​⨯ 6
So, we have to multiply the numerator by 6 to get the equivalent fraction having denominator 30.

∴ $\frac{3}{5}=\frac{3\times 6}{5\times 6}=\frac{18}{30}$

Thus, $\frac{18}{30}\mathrm{is}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{equivalent}\mathrm{fraction}\mathrm{of}\frac{3}{5}.$
