Question

Write two equivalent fractions for each: $\frac{5}{8}$

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,

$\frac{5\times 2}{8\times 2}=\frac{10}{16}$ [ Multiplying both numerator and denominator by $2$ ]

$\frac{5\times 3}{8\times 3}=\frac{15}{24}$ [ Multiplying both numerator and denominator by $3$ ]

Hence $\frac{10}{16},\frac{15}{24}$ are two equivalent fractions of $\frac{5}{8}$
