Question

what is the equivalent fraction of 12 / 20 in which its equivalent denominater is 40​

Answer 1

Answer:

$\Large{\boxed{\red{\underline{= \frac{24}{40}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

By equivalent fraction method:-

Let $x$ be the unknown numerator of denominator 40 which is equivalent fraction of $\frac{12}{20}$.

$\frac{12}{20}$$\frac{=}{=}$ $\frac{x}{40}$

$\frac{12}{20}$=$\frac{x}{40}$

By cross multipication of denominators to numerators, it becomes,

12×40 = 20$x$

480 = 20$x$

Now, moving the coefficient of $x$ and leaving $x$ to its former place, it becomes,

480 ÷ 20 = $x$

$x$ = 24, Hence the numerator is 24 with denominator 40 whicb equivalent fraction of $\frac{12}{20}$.

Hence, $\large{\boxed{\red{\underline{= \frac{24}{40}}}}}$ is the answer.
