B.3/10
C.1/15
D.2/15
Can you show me the steps?
If you multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number, you'll get an equivalent fraction.
What equivalent fraction do you get when you multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/5 by 2?
x 0 5 25
y 1.25 9 40
i the linear function in the table a diret variation? explain.
1,5+2-10.
To determine which fraction is equal to 1/5, you need to find a fraction that represents the same value.
To do this, you can simplify 1/5 by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD). In this case, the GCD of 1 and 5 is 1.
1 ÷ 1 = 1
5 ÷ 1 = 5
After simplifying, you have 1/5.
Now, let's check each option to see which one is equal to 1/5:
A. 2/10: To simplify, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 2.
2 ÷ 2 = 1
10 ÷ 2 = 5
The simplified form of 2/10 is 1/5. So option A is equal to 1/5.
B. 3/10: To simplify, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, but in this case, there is no common divisor between 3 and 10 other than 1.
So 3/10 cannot be simplified further and is not equal to 1/5.
C. 1/15: To simplify, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 1.
1 ÷ 1 = 1
15 ÷ 1 = 15
The simplified form of 1/15 is 1/15. So option C is not equal to 1/5.
D. 2/15: To simplify, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD, which is 1.
2 ÷ 1 = 2
15 ÷ 1 = 15
The simplified form of 2/15 is 2/15. So option D is not equal to 1/5.
Therefore, the correct answer is:
A. 2/10
