Question

The equivalent fraction of $\frac{2}{3}$ having the denominator 18 is

• A. $\frac{2}{18}$
• B. $\frac{18}{3}$
• C. $\frac{12}{18}$
• D. $\frac{18}{27}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{12}{18}$

Only options A and C have denominators 18 in their options.

If we change anything in the denominator, we have to do a change of the same value in the numerator also. In option A this property is not fulfilled.

However in option C we find (2×6)/(3×6)

Option C is the equivalent fraction

2/3≈12/18

So option C is the correct answer.
