Question

Write two equivalent fractions for each : $\frac{17}{68}$

Answer 1

Find the equivalent fractions

Equivalent Fraction: The fractions that have different numerators and denominators but are equal to the same value are called equivalent fractions.

We multiply or divide the numerator and denominator of a given fraction by the same number to get an equivalent fraction.

Therefore,

$\frac{17÷17}{68÷7}=\frac{1}{4}$ [ Dividing both numerator and denominator by $17$ ]

$\frac{17\times 2}{68\times 2}=\frac{34}{136}$ [ Multiplying both numerator and denominator by $2$ ]

Hence, $\frac{1}{4},\frac{34}{136}$ are two equivalent fractions of $\frac{17}{68}$
