Question

There were 10 baked goods in a basket. four of them were sold. write a fraction to show the part of the baked goods that were not sold. then write a equivalent fraction to this number.

Answer 1

The fraction of baked goods not sold is 6/10. The numerator is the number of left over baked goods (10-4 -6) and the denominator is the total loaves of bread (10). An equivalent fraction is 12/20. This was obtained by multiplying the original fraction by two (6 x2 = 12 and 10 x2 =20).
