How to multiply to make an equivalent fraction

1 answer:

Inessa [10]3 years ago

Hi!

okay say you have the fractions 1/4 and 6/24, these two fractions are equivalent because you can multiply the numerator and the denominator by 6 to get 6/24 (1x6 = 6 and 4x6 = 24).

similarly you can reduce 6/24 to 1/4 by dividing the numerator and denominator by 6 (6/6 = 1 and 24/6 = 4).

i hope this helped!

Answer:

235.2

Step-by-step explanation:

147 * 1.60 -> this way is an all in one calculation but to double check you can take 60% of 147 (147 * .60 = x ) and add that value to 147 so... 88.2+147=235.2

22. One kilometer is approximately 0.62 mile. What fraction represents this length?

bixtya [17]

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

One kilometer is $\frac{31}{50}$ miles

<u><em>Explanation:</em></u>

<u>To convert a decimal to a fraction:</u>

1- Write the decimal as a fraction whose denominator is 1

2- Multiply both numerator and denominator by multiples of 10 to eliminate the decimal point

3- Simplify the fraction you have

<u>Now, for the given problem:</u>

<u>The given decimal is 0.62, following the above steps:</u>

<u>Step 1: </u>

$0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1}$

<u>Step 2:</u>

We have two digits after the decimal point, so to eliminate the decimal point, we will multiply the numerator and the denominator by 100

$0.62 = \frac{0.62}{1} * \frac{100}{100} = \frac{62}{100}$

<u>Step 3:</u>

We can note that, in the fraction obtained from step 2, both the numerator and the denominator are divisible by 2, so we simplify as follows:

$\frac{62}{100} = \frac{62/2}{100/2} =\frac{31}{50}$

Hope this helps :)
