Question

Find three equivalent fractions for each fraction.

$\frac{18}{24}$

Answer 1

The fractions whose numerator and denominator are equal is known as a unit fraction. Ex. - $\frac{5}{5},\frac{3}{3},\frac{7}{7},......$

We know that whenever we multiply or divide any number with a unit value then its value remains the same.

Therefore, the equivalent fractions can be written as -

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{18}{24}=\frac{18\times 2}{24\times 2}=\frac{36}{48} \\ \frac{18}{24}=\frac{18\times 3}{24\times 3}=\frac{54}{72} \\ \frac{18}{24}=\frac{18\times 4}{24\times 4}=\frac{72}{96} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, three equivalent fractions of $\frac{18}{24}$ is $\frac{36}{48},\frac{54}{72}and\frac{72}{96}.$
