TO DETERMINE

Interpret 2/5 in two different ways

EVALUATION

Here the given fraction is

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{2}{5} }$

Numerator = 2

Denominator = 5

Multiplying both of the numerator and denominator by 2 we get

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{2}{5} } = \frac{2 \times 2}{5 \times 2} = \frac{4}{10}$

Again Multiplying both of the numerator and denominator by 3 we get

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{2}{5} } = \frac{2 \times 3}{5 \times 3} = \frac{6}{15}$

Hence two fractions which are equivalent to given fraction is

$\displaystyle \sf{ \frac{4}{10} } \: \: \: and \: \: \: \frac{6}{15}$
