Question

write two equivalent fractions for each (a)2/5 (b)20/24​

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer

Given fractions are 5/6 and 20/24.

By cross multiplication of numerator and denominator of each other we get:

(5×24)=120

(6×20)=120

Now, (5×24)=(6×20)=120

Hence, 5/6 and 20/24 are the pairs of equivalent fractions.

Answer 2

Answer:

1st answer-

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

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

2nd answer-

$\frac{20}{24} = \frac{20 \times 2}{24 \times 2} = \frac{40}{48}$

$\frac{20}{24} = \frac{20 \times 3}{24 \times 3} = \frac{60}{72}$
