Question

Look at the model to the right. 3/5 of the whole is shaded. Divide the model into a different number of equal parts to find an equivalent fraction. Complete the equation

Answer 1

Solution:

$\frac{3}{5}=\frac{6}{10}=\frac{9}{15}$

Two or more fractions are said to be equivalent , if reduced in lowest terms that is numerator and denominator are co-prime, they are equal.

$\frac{3}{5}$ Three out of five is shaded.

Equivalent fraction of

$\frac{3\times 6}{5\times 6}=\frac{18}{30} \\\\ \frac{3\times 8}{5\times 8}=\frac{24}{40}$
