Question

Show how to rewrite 1/5 with the denominator 10

Answer 1

The denominator is the bottom number.

To change the 5 to 10, you would multiply 5 by 2: 5 x 2 = 10

Because you multiplied the 5 by 2, you also need to multiply the numerator ( top number) by the same amount.

1 x 2 = 2

So 1/5 = 2/10

The answer is 2/10
