Question

Find two equivalent fractions of the given fraction:

$\frac{40}{50}$

Answer 1

Finding the equivalent fraction:

To find the equivalent fraction of a fraction we have to either multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator of the fraction with a same number.

So, let's find out two equivalent fractions of $\frac{40}{50}$:

multiplying $2$ in both the numerator and denominator: $\frac{40}{50}=\frac{40\times 2}{50\times 2}=\frac{80}{100}$

multiplying $3$ in both the numerator and denominator: $\frac{40}{50}=\frac{40\times 3}{50\times 3}=\frac{120}{150}$

Hence the two equivalent fractions of $\frac{40}{50}$ are $\frac{80}{100}$ and $\frac{120}{150}$.
