• A. $\frac{6}{10}$
• B. $\frac{4}{10}$
• C. $\frac{6}{20}$
• D. $\frac{9}{10}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{6}{10}$

While finding an equivalent fraction of a given fraction, we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of the given fraction by 2, we get

$\frac{3\times 2}{5\times 2}=\frac{6}{10}.$

$\therefore \frac{6}{10}$ is an equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{5}.$

Multiplying the numerator and denominator of $\frac{3}{5}$ by 3, we get

$\frac{3\times 3}{5\times 3}=\frac{9}{15}.$

$\frac{9}{15}$ is another equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{5}.$
