Question

Find three equivalent fractions for each fraction.

$\frac{8}{11}$

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 -

$$\begin{gathered} \frac{8}{11}=\frac{8\times 2}{11\times 2}=\frac{16}{22} \\ \frac{8}{11}=\frac{8\times 3}{11\times 3}=\frac{24}{33} \\ \frac{8}{11}=\frac{8\times 5}{11\times 5}=\frac{40}{55} \end{gathered}$$

Hence, three equivalent fractions of $\frac{8}{11}$ is $\frac{16}{22},\frac{24}{33}and\frac{40}{55}.$
