Write an equivalent fraction for 3/4
Write an equivalent fraction for 2/5
Mason lives 5/10 mile from school. Tyler lives 4/8 mile from school. Do they live the same distance from school? Explain.
6/8 , 12/16 , 36/48 ......
2/5, 14/35, 6146/15365
5/10 = 1/2
4/8 = 1/2 the same
Q:1 and 2
3/4= 6/8=9/24=12/16=15/20=18/24........
2/5=4/10=6/16= 8/20= 10/25
My answers true or false
9/24 is not 3/4 others ok
6/16 is not 2/5 (6/15 is though)
To find an equivalent fraction for a given fraction, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number. Here's how you can find the equivalent fractions for the given fractions:
1. To find an equivalent fraction for 3/4, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number. For example, multiplying both by 2 gives you 6/8, which is an equivalent fraction for 3/4.
2. To find an equivalent fraction for 2/5, you can multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number. For example, multiplying both by 3 gives you 6/15, which is an equivalent fraction for 2/5.
Now, let's move on to the next question:
Mason lives 5/10 mile from school, and Tyler lives 4/8 mile from school. To determine if they live the same distance from school, we need to compare their fractions.
First, let's simplify the fractions.
For 5/10, we can simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 5. Divide 5/5 = 1 and 10/5 = 2, so 5/10 simplifies to 1/2.
For 4/8, we can simplify by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. Divide 4/4 = 1 and 8/4 = 2, so 4/8 simplifies to 1/2.
Since both fractions simplify to 1/2, Mason and Tyler do live the same distance from school.
