Answer 2

Answer:

Required fraction is $\frac{12}{30}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Equivalent fractions are the fractions that have different numerators and denominators but are equal to the same value. For example,

$\frac{2}{4}$and $\frac{3}{6}$

are equivalent fractions, because they both are equal to the $\frac{1}{2}$

A fraction is a part of a whole.

By some other examples,we can easily understand this concept.

$\frac{4}{12} = \frac{6}{18} = \frac{7}{21}$

Above three fractions are equal to $\frac{1}{3}$

So we can say they are equivalent to $\frac{1}{3}$

Again,

$\frac{5}{25} = \frac{3}{15} = \frac{8}{40}$

Above three fractions are equal to $\frac{1}{5}$

So it is clear that above fractions are equivalent to $\frac{1}{5}$

Here we want to find an equivalent fraction of 2/5 with numerator 12.

So,

$\frac{2}{5} = \frac{2 \times 6}{5 \times 6} = \frac{12}{30}$

Required fraction is $\frac{12}{30}$which is equivalent to $\frac{2}{5}$with numerator 12.
