To come up with fractions equivalent to the number of baby teeth Raul has lost, we can start with the fact that he has lost 6 out of 20 of his baby teeth.
Fraction Equivalent 1:
We can express the fraction of lost baby teeth by putting the number of lost teeth (6) in the numerator and the total number of baby teeth (20) in the denominator. So the fraction equivalent to 6 out of 20 of his baby teeth lost would be 6/20.
Fraction Equivalent 2:
Another way to find an equivalent fraction is to simplify the fraction 6/20 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their common factors. In this case, both 6 and 20 are divisible by 2, so dividing them by 2 would give us:
6 ÷ 2 = 3
20 ÷ 2 = 10
So the simplified fraction equivalent to 6 out of 20 of Raul's baby teeth lost would be 3/10.
Therefore, two fractions equivalent to Raul losing 6 out of 20 of his baby teeth are 6/20 and 3/10.
