Question

Find three equivalent fraction for the fraction $\frac{18}{24}$

Answer 1

Consider $\frac{18}{24}$

H.C.F $(18,24)=6$

we divide the numerator and denominator by $6$ to get the simplest fraction

$\therefore$ we get $\frac{3}{4}$

This is our first equivalent fraction. We use this fraction to find more equivalent fractions.

Multiply numerator and denominator by $2$ and $3$ we get

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3\times 2}{4\times 2}=\frac{6}{8}$

$\frac{3}{4}=\frac{3\times 3}{4\times 3}=\frac{9}{12}$

Hence the equivalent fractions are $\frac{3}{4},\frac{6}{8},\frac{9}{12}$
