Question

The fraction 6/10 is equivalent to which of the following? 12/24 or 24/40 or 3/6 or 16/20

Answer 1

Answer:

24/40

Step-by-step explanation:

You can multiply both the numerator and denominator by any number

Option #3: Lets multiply by 1/2 since when you multiply 6*1/2 it equals 3 and that is the same numerator as option #3 and so now let's do the same again to the denominator 10*1/2 equals 5 and that is NOT equal to 6 in the denominator for option #3 and you can't get 3 any other way than multiplying by 1/2 (same as *.5) and so it is wrong.

Now since we know how to do it I'll just do the math for the rest.

Option 1:

6/10

6*2/10*2

12/20 and that doesn't match so it's wrong.

Option 2:

6/10

6*4/10*4

=

24/40

It matches so it's correct let's try option 4 just to check.

Option 4:

6/10

6*2/10*2

12/20

that doesn't match so it's wrong (you could have tried multiplying by decimals by I doubt you are there to that kind of math yet.)

Answer: 24/40
