65

Part B: Identify a fraction different than the fraction given in Part A that is also equivalent to

15/65

Show all work.

Part C: Are the fractions from Part A and Part B equivalent to each other? Explain.

Answer 1

Answer:

A. $Fraction = \frac{3}{13}$

B. $Fraction = \frac{30}{130}$

C. Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Fraction = \frac{15}{65}$

Solving (a): Get an equivalent fraction

$Fraction = \frac{15}{65}$

Divide the numerator and denominator by 5

$Fraction = \frac{15/5}{65/5}$

$Fraction = \frac{3}{13}$

This is equivalent to the given fraction

Solving (b): Another Equivalent Fraction

$Fraction = \frac{15}{65}$

Multiply the numerator and denominator by 2

$Fraction = \frac{15 * 2}{65 * 2}$

$Fraction = \frac{30}{130}$

This is also equivalent to the given fraction

Solving (c): Is A equivalent to B

Yes, they are

Because the fraction in (A) and (B) are equivalent to $\frac{15}{65}$

Then, the fractions in A and B are equivalent
