Yes 2/5 and 4/10 are equivalent fractions. This is because you are able to multiple both numbers in 2/5 by 2 and get 4/10. In addition, you can divide both numbers in 4/10 by 2, therefore they’re equivalent.

Lois made a dish with 6 1/3 cups of pasta. One serving of the pasta is 0.4 cups. How many servings of pasta were in the dish Loi

tatyana61 [14]

namely, how many times does 0.4 go into 6⅓? or 6⅓ ÷ 0.4.

first off, let's convert the mixed fraction to improper, and the decimal to a fraction . We can always convert the decimal to a fraction by simply <u>adding as many zeros on the denominator as there are decimals and lose the dot atop</u>, let's do so.

$\bf 0.\underline{4}\implies \cfrac{04}{1\underline{0}}\implies \cfrac{4}{10}\implies \cfrac{2}{5}~\hfill \stackrel{mixed}{6\frac{1}{3}}\implies \cfrac{6\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \stackrel{improper}{\cfrac{19}{3}}
\\\\[-0.35em]
\rule{34em}{0.25pt}\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{How many servings of pasta were in the dish?}}{6\frac{1}{3}\div 0.4\implies \cfrac{19}{3}\div \cfrac{2}{5}}\implies \cfrac{19}{3}\cdot \cfrac{5}{2}\implies \cfrac{95}{6}\implies 15\frac{5}{6}$
