how can you find an equivalent of a fraction

for example 15/24 and the equivalent fraction is 5/8.??how?/

can you explain and give me examlpes

Find the multiples of each denominator (bottom number) for example the mutiples of 5 would be 5,10,15,20...

Find the Lowest Common Multiple of both fractions

Once both denominators have the same denominator remember whatever you did to the denomnator to make it hat number you have to do the same to the top
for example 5/20 4/5 (x4)
5/20 /20
5/20 16/20
4/5 = 16/20

5/8 (x?) = 15/24

is it 3

can you give me more examples please.

it is 3! Congrats.

12/15 (x ?) = 48/60

14/20 (x ?) = 7/10

3/4 (x ?) = 75/100

To find an equivalent fraction, you need to multiply or divide both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) of a fraction by the same non-zero value. This value can be any whole number, as long as it is not zero.

Let's take the fraction 15/24 as an example and find an equivalent fraction:

Step 1: Simplify the fraction (if possible)
Before finding the equivalent fraction, check if the given fraction can be simplified. In this case, both 15 and 24 can be divided by 3. So, 15/24 simplifies to 5/8.

Step 2: Multiply or divide
If the fraction cannot be simplified, you need to multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same value to find an equivalent fraction.

Example 1:
Let's say we want to find an equivalent fraction of 4/7. Multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
4/7 x 2/2 = 8/14

Example 2:
Let's say we want to find an equivalent fraction of 2/3. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
2/3 ÷ 2/2 = 1/1 (which is equal to 1)

Example 3:
Let's say we want to find an equivalent fraction of 9/12. Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3:
9/12 ÷ 3/3 = 3/4

Note: You can multiply or divide by any other non-zero value as well. For instance, you can multiply by 3/3, which is equal to 1, or divide by 5/5, which is also equal to 1.

Remember, the goal is to find a fraction that represents the same value as the given fraction but with different numerator and denominator values.
