Question

Write three equivalent fractions of $\frac{3}{8}$.

Answer 1

Equivalent fraction: Two or more fractions are said to be equivalent fraction if each fraction gives the same result after the simplification.

We can find the equivalent fraction of given fraction just multiplying a number in its numerator and denominator.

First equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{8}$$=\frac{2x3}{2x8}=\frac{6}{16}$

Second equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{8}$$=\frac{3x3}{3x8}=\frac{9}{24}$

Third equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{8}$$=\frac{4x3}{4x8}=\frac{12}{32}$

Hence three equivalent fraction of $\frac{3}{8}$ are $\frac{6}{16},\frac{9}{24},\frac{12}{32}$.
