Question

Find three equivalent fractions for each fraction.

$\frac{3}{18}$

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 -

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{3}{18}=\frac{3\times 2}{18\times 2}=\frac{6}{36} \\ \frac{3}{18}=\frac{3\times 3}{18\times 3}=\frac{9}{54} \\ \frac{3}{18}=\frac{3\times 4}{18\times 4}=\frac{12}{72} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, three equivalent fractions of $\frac{3}{18}$ is $\frac{6}{36},\frac{9}{54}and\frac{12}{72}.$
