Write a fraction that is equivalent to 48/60 and which has a denominator of 300 _____
I don't know how to do this one is there anyone out there that can help?
48/60 = x/300
We now cross-multiply.
60(x) = 48(300)
60x = 14,400
x = 14,400/60
x = 240
So, what is the fraction?
240/300
What does 240/300 really mean? It means that if we were to reduce it to the lowest term, we would end up with 48/60.
Why? Because they are EQUIVALENT fractions.
Done!
240/300 = 48/60
48*5=240
60*5=300
4/10 is equivalent too
Of course! I can help you with that. To find a fraction that is equivalent to 48/60 and has a denominator of 300, we need to multiply both the numerator and denominator of 48/60 by the same number. This is because multiplying or dividing both parts of a fraction by the same number does not change its value.
To convert the denominator of 60 to 300, we need to multiply it by 5. Therefore, we will also multiply the numerator 48 by 5.
So, the equivalent fraction is:
(48 × 5) / (60 × 5) = 240/300
Therefore, a fraction that is equivalent to 48/60 with a denominator of 300 is 240/300.
