11=264/11

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We are said to represent the given fractions as an another fraction( having 24 in its denominator ). It order to make a denominator equal to 24, we have to multiply that the fraction with an another number so that the product of denominator and that number becomes 24.

a : 1 / 2

Here, we have 2 in denominator ,in this case we should be multiplied by 12, since 2 x 12 = 24.

= > ( 1 x  12 ) / ( 2 x 12 )

= > 12 / 24

Hence the required equivalent fraction with a denominator of 24 is 12 / 24.

b : 5 / 6

Here, we have 6 in denominator ,in this case we should be multiplied by 4, since 6 x 4 = 24.

= > ( 5 x 4 ) / ( 6 x 4 )

= > 20 / 24

Hence the required equivalent fraction with a denominator of 24 is 20 / 24.

c : 7 / 3

Here, we have 3 in denominator ,in this case we should be multiplied by 8, since 3 x 8 = 24.

= > ( 7 x 3 ) / ( 3 x 8 )

= > 21 / 24

Hence the required equivalent fraction with a denominator of 24 is 21 / 24.

d : 3 or 3 / 1

Here, we have 1 in denominator ,in this case we should be multiplied by 24, since 1 x 24 = 24.

= > ( 3 x  24 ) / ( 1 x 24 )

= > 72 / 24

Hence the required equivalent fraction with a denominator of 24 is 72 / 24.

e : 5 or 5 / 1

Here, we have 1 in denominator ,in this case we should be multiplied by 24, since 1 x 24 = 24.

= > ( 5 x 24 ) / ( 1 x 24 )

= > 120 / 24

Hence the required equivalent fraction with a denominator of 24 is 120 / 24.

f : 11 or 11 / 1

Here, we have 1 in denominator ,in this case we should be multiplied by 24, since 1 x 24 = 24.

= > ( 11 x  24 ) / ( 1 x 24 )

= > 264 / 24

Hence the required equivalent fraction with a denominator of 24 is 264 / 24.
