(a) On scaling up by a factor of 2 , the equivalent fraction is 18/30.
(b) On scaling up by a factor of 3 , the equivalent fraction is 27/45.
(c) On scaling down by a factor of 3 , the equivalent fraction is 3/5 .
In the question ,
a fraction 9/15 is given ,
Part(a)
to scale up the fraction by a factor of 2 , we multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 .
On multiplying , we get
9/15 = (9*2)/(15*2) = 18/30 .
Part(c)
to scale up the fraction by a factor of 3 , we multiply the numerator and denominator by 3 .
On multiplying , we get
9/15 = (9*3)/(15*3) = 27/45 .
Part(c)
to scale down the fraction by a factor of 3 , we divide the denominator and numerator by 3 .
On dividing , we get
9/15 = (9/3)/(15/3) = 3/5 .
Therefore , (a) On scaling up by a factor of 2 , the equivalent fraction is 18/30.
(b) On scaling up by a factor of 3 , the equivalent fraction is 27/45.
(c) On scaling down by a factor of 3 , the equivalent fraction is 3/5 .
