Question

19. Change the following fractions into equivalent fractions having denominator 12:
$\frac{7}{3}$
and
$\frac{2}{6}$
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

7/3 ×4 = 24/12 = ans

2/6× 2= 4/12 = ans

(when you multiply the denominator with a number multiply the numerator with the same number)

Answer 2

Answer:

The equivalent fractions of $\frac{7}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$  having denominator $12$ are $\frac{28}{12}$ and $\frac{4}{12}$ respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Two fractions are $\frac{7}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$.

To find : Change the above fractions into equivalent fractions having denominator 12.

Solution :

• The given two fractions are $\frac{7}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$.
• We have to change the above fractions into equivalent fractions having denominator 12.
• Equivalent fractions are those fractions which have different numerator and denominator but the but they are equal to the same value.
• To find the equivalent fractions of given fractions, we have to multiply by such a number to the numerator and denominator both so that the denominator will be equal to $12$.
• First fraction is $\frac{7}{3}$,  

      As we know that, $3*4=12$

      So,multiplying the given fraction by $4$, we get

           $\frac{7*4}{3*4} = \frac{28}{12}$

• Now, second fraction is $\frac{2}{6}$.

      We know that $6*2=12$

      So,multiplying the given fraction by $2$, we get

           $\frac{2*2}{6*2}=\frac{4}{12}$

• ∴ The equivalent fractions of $\frac{7}{3}$ and $\frac{2}{6}$  having denominator $12$ are $\frac{28}{12}$ and $\frac{4}{12}$ respectively.
