I think you're saying that you want equivalent fractions for 4/5 and 5/6 ,
and the equivalent fractions should both have the same denominator. OK.
Have you learned "least common denominator" yet ?
Or maybe "least common multiple" ?
It's the smallest number that 5 and 6 both go into with no remainder.
I'm not going to try to explain the whole general method for finding it.
That confuse both of us, you and me.
In this case, I'll just tell you that the smallest common denominator here
is 30 . Now you have to find the two numerators, so that the new
fractions will really be equivalent to the old ones.
-- Write 4/5 as something with a denominator of 30 .
4/5 = ? / 30 .
What is the '5' multiplied by to get the '30' ?
It's multiplied by 6 to get 30 .
So multiply the 4 by the same 6. The equivalent fraction is 24/30 .
-- Write 5/6 as something with a denominator of 30 .
5/6 = ? / 30 .
What is the '6' multiplied by to get the '30' ?
It's multiplied by 5 to get 30 .
So multiply the 5 by the same 6. The equivalent fraction is 25/30 .

Answer:
Sample response: The Smith family has 2 choices to make, color and style. By the fundamental counting principle, the product of the number of choices of color and style must equal 8. So, there could be 1 color and 8 style choices, 2 colors and 4 styles, 4 colors and 2 styles, or 8 colors and 1 style.
Step-by-step explanation:
M is correct, at the end your answer will be 5m
<span>Since 8 is a whole number and ⅖ is a fraction, it doesn’t make it that complicated. Fraction is just like division, you just make the number on the top as your dividend and the number below as your divisor. First, get the quotient of the fraction ⅖ which is 0.4. Since you are looking for the ⅖ of the whole number 8, you need to multiply it. The quotient 0.4 will be multiplied to 8. Or you can simply multiply 2 by 8 and divide it to 5. The answer would be 3.2</span>
