Two fractions equivalent to each: Just divide or multiply both top AND bottom by the same number.<span>
5/6: 10/12 OR 15/18
15/30: 5/10 OR 1/2
45/60: 8/12 OR 4/6
Rewrite each pair or fractions with common denominator: Find the difference between the two bottom numbers, and multiply top and bottom number.
5/8 and 3/4: 4X2=8, 3X2=6. So, 5/8 and 6/8.
2/5 and 1/2: 2/5 and 2.5/5
9/9 and 5/7: 9/9 and ~5.7/9
Rewrite each in simple form: Find greatest common factor and divide.
9/54: 1/6
20/40: 1/2
100/110: 10/11
Are these fractions equivalent?
No. 5/1 and 5/5 are, because they are both 5 wholes. 1/5 is not because it is a fifth of a whole.
In what situation can you use multiplication to find equivalent fractions?
I'm sorry but I do not understand this question.

So anytime we have a slope and want to find the slope of a perpendicular line, we just have to remember a perpendicular line's slope is the negative reciprocal (reciprocal means flip the fraction). So if we had a slope of 3/4, the slope perpendicular to it would be - 4/3.
First we need to find our slope, to do this we take the change in y over the change in x like so:
(15-12)/(4-7) = - 3/4
The slope perpendicular to this is 4/3.

generate a few terms of the sequence using
= 3n + 2
= ( 3 × 1) + 2 = 5
= (3 × 2) + 2 = 8
= (3 × 3 ) + 2 = 11
= (3 × 4 ) + 2 = 14
= ( 3 × 5 ) + 2 = 17
the terms are 5, 8, 11, 14, 17
these are the terms of an arithmetic sequence
sum to n terms is calculated using
=
[ 2a + (n-1)d]
where a is the first term and d the common difference
d = 8 - 5 = 11 - 8 = 14 - 11 = 3 and
= 5
=
[( 2 × 5) + (29 × 3) ]
= 15( 10 + 87) = 15 × 97 = 1455
