Question

Write four equivalent fraction to 3/8

Answer 1

Answer:

Before solving this problem, we should know that what the equivalent fractions are.

the equivalent fractions are those fractions which when they reduced into simplest form, the remain same.

to find the equivalent fractions, we have to multiply the numerator as well as by the same number.

3/8

the first equivalent fraction is

(3 x 2) / (8 X 2 )    = 6/16     [ we multiply the num. and denom. by 2]

the second equivalent fraction is

(3 x 3) / (8 X 3 )    = 9/24       [ we multiply the num. and denom. by 3]

the third equivalent fraction is

(3 x 4) / (8 X 4 )    = 12/32       [ we multiply the num. and denom. by 4]

the fourth equivalent fraction is

(3 x 5) / (8 X 5 )    = 15/40       [ we multiply the num. and denom. by 5]

NOTE : to check your answer, just reduce the equation in it's simplest form by cancelling the numerators and denominators. You should get 3/8 in all 4 cases.
