Question

Steve always visits his restaurant $5$ days in a week. Identify the fraction that represents the number of days he visits his restaurant in two weeks. Will it be an equivalent to the fraction representing his visits in a week?

• A. $\frac{10}{14}$, Yes
• B. $\frac{5}{14}$, yes
• C. $\frac{10}{14}$, No
• D. $\frac{10}{7}$, No

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{10}{14}$, Yes

Number of days Steve visits his restaurant in a week $=5$
Total number of days in week $=7$

Fraction representing Steve’s visit to his restaurant in $1$ week $=\frac{5}{7}$

Number of days Steve visits his restaurant in two weeks $=5\times 2=10$
Total number of days in two weeks $=7\times 2=14$

Fraction representing Steve’s visits to his restaurant in $2$ weeks $=\frac{10}{14}$

Yes, the fraction $\frac{5}{7}$ is equivalent to $\frac{10}{14}$ .
