pls. find an equivalent fraction, and explain .ty
60/80
equivalent fractions have the same value after calculation but look different
you work them out by dividing the denominator and the numerator by the same number (the numbers on the top and bottom of the fraction)or multiplying but this isn't usually used
60/80 = 0.75
if you divide both sides by ten
6/8 =0.75
divide first fraction by 20 or the second fraction by 2
3/4 = 0.75
divide the first by 4
15/20 = 0.75
these are all equivalent fractions
usually you would use the fraction with the lowest numbers eg 3/4 as this cannot be simplified further you cannot divide it and get whole numbers on the bottom and the top
hope that helps
Yes
To find an equivalent fraction to 60/80, you need to simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). The GCD of 60 and 80 is 20.
Dividing both 60 and 80 by 20 gives:
60 ÷ 20 = 3
80 ÷ 20 = 4
Therefore, an equivalent fraction to 60/80 is 3/4.
Explanation:
1. Start by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator (60) and the denominator (80).
2. List the factors of both numbers to find their common factors:
Factors of 60: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 60
Factors of 80: 1, 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 20, 40, 80
3. The largest number that appears in both lists is 20, so the GCD is 20.
4. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 20.
60 ÷ 20 = 3
80 ÷ 20 = 4
5. The simplified fraction is 3/4, which is equivalent to 60/80.
Amelia is correct. One way to reduce 60/80 to lowest terms is to write both numerator and denominator as the products of prime numbers, and cancel out the numbers that appear both above and below the line. For example:
60/80= 2*2*3*5/(2*2*2*2*5)= 3*/(2*2) = 3/4
I was able to cancel our two 2's and a 5 that appeared in both numerator and denominator.
