Question

Write five equivalent fractions of each of the following:

$\frac{2}{5}$

Answer 1

• Equivalent fractions can be defined as fractions with different numerators and denominators that represent the same value or proportion of the whole.
• So equivalent fraction of $\frac{2}{5}$ will be

⇒$[\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{1}{1}=\frac{2}{5}],\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{\mathbf{4}}{\mathbf{10}},\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{\mathbf{6}}{\mathbf{15}},\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{\mathbf{8}}{\mathbf{20}},\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{5}{5}=\frac{\mathbf{10}}{\mathbf{25}},\frac{2}{5}\times \frac{6}{6}=\frac{\mathbf{12}}{\mathbf{30}}$
