explain why multiplying the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same number results in an equivalent fraction

1 answer:

8 0

Think: You're treating the numerator and the denom. in precisely the same way. In doing so you are NOT changing the value of the fraction, only the appearance.

Example: start with 2/3. Mult num. and den. both by 7: 14/21.

2/3 and 14/21 result in precisely the same decimal fraction, showing that the latter set of fractions is equivalent to the former set.

inysia [295]

Given that triangle m and n are similar, then the implication is the ratio of the corresponding sides are the same and the corresponding angles are equal. This implies that if the two angles of triangle m measure 32° and 93°, then the possible size for the two angles in triangle n will be 32° and 93°.
