Write a fraction that is equal to each of the given fractions and has a numerator
of one
4/5
5/7
3.15/6.3
How do I do that?
I don't understand the question. Are they saying for me to find an equivalent fraction to the ones they gave me? But the fraction has to have a numerator of one?
1 25/100= 1 1/4
4/5 = 1/(5/4) = 1/1.25
5/7 = 1/(7/5) = 1/1.4
3.15/6.3 = 1/2
To write a fraction that is equal to each given fraction and has a numerator of one, you can divide both the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by the numerator. Here's how you can do it:
1. For the fraction 4/5:
Divide both the numerator and denominator by the numerator, which is 4.
4 ÷ 4 = 1
5 ÷ 4 = 1.25
Therefore, a fraction equal to 4/5 with a numerator of one is 1/1.25.
2. For the fraction 5/7:
Divide both the numerator and denominator by the numerator, which is 5.
5 ÷ 5 = 1
7 ÷ 5 = 1.4
Therefore, a fraction equal to 5/7 with a numerator of one is 1/1.4.
3. For the fraction 3.15/6.3:
Multiply both the numerator and denominator by 10 to remove the decimal from the numerator.
3.15 × 10 = 31.5
6.3 × 10 = 63
Now, divide both the numerator and denominator by the numerator, which is 31.5.
31.5 ÷ 31.5 = 1
63 ÷ 31.5 = 2
Therefore, a fraction equal to 3.15/6.3 with a numerator of one is 1/2.
By following these steps, you can write equivalent fractions with a numerator of one for the given fractions.
