Question

Multiplying the numerator and denominator with a/the _____ gives us an equivalent fraction.

• A. factor
• B. same number
• C. multiple
• D. prime number

Answer 1

The correct option is B same number

Multiplying the numerator and denominator with the same number gives us an equivalent fraction.
For example, determine the equivalent fraction of $\frac{5}{8}$.

To determine the equivalent fraction, we multiply the numerator and denominator with the same number.
Let’s take 3 here.

$\frac{5}{8}=\frac{5\times 3}{8\times 3}=\frac{15}{24}$

Hence, the equivalent fraction of $\frac{5}{8}$ is $\frac{15}{24}$.

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
