• A. $\frac{12}{24}\text{and}\frac{20}{24}$
• B. $\frac{12}{24}\text{and}\frac{22}{24}$
• C. $\frac{15}{24}\text{and}\frac{22}{24}$
• D. $\frac{15}{24}\text{and}\frac{20}{24}$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $\frac{15}{24}\text{and}\frac{20}{24}$

$\text{Given fractions are}\frac{5}{8}\text{and}\frac{5}{6}.$

$\text{Fraction}\frac{5}{8}\text{can be written as:}$

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

$\text{Fraction}\frac{5}{6}\text{can be written as:}$

$\frac{5}{6}\times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{20}{24}$

$\text{Therefore, equivalent fractions of}\frac{5}{8}$ $\text{and}\frac{5}{6}\text{are}\frac{15}{24}\text{and}\frac{20}{24}.$
