Hi,
Canyou help me on the question down below?Ithank-you veery much.
Sincerely,
Kathy
question:
The GCF of my numerator & denominator is 5.
I am equivalent to 4/6.
If I had three times as many books as my friend,and toghter we had 48 books how many books would I have?
Hi Kathy,
Of course! I'd be happy to help you with your question.
To find the equivalent fraction that satisfies the given conditions, we need to find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator, and then divide both numbers by this common factor.
In your case, the GCF of the numerator and denominator is 5. This means that both numbers are divisible by 5. To find the original fraction, we need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by 5.
The given fraction is 4/6. Let's divide both 4 and 6 by 5:
4 ÷ 5 = 0.8
6 ÷ 5 = 1.2
So, the original fraction is 0.8/1.2.
Now, let's simplify this fraction. To simplify a fraction, you need to find the common factors of the numerator and denominator and divide both numbers by the greatest common factor.
In this case, the greatest common factor of the numerator and denominator is 0.8. Let's divide both 0.8 and 1.2 by 0.8:
0.8 ÷ 0.8 = 1
1.2 ÷ 0.8 = 1.5
Therefore, the equivalent fraction to 4/6 with a GCF of 5 is 1/1.5.
I hope this explanation helps you understand how to solve the problem. If you have any further questions, please let me know.
