1/3 + ?/6
1/3 = 2/6
2/5=?/10 Thanks Ms.Sue can u please explain how to answer fractions like this? How did u get the answer?
To change to equivalent fractions, multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.
1/3 = 2/6 = 3/9 = 4/12 and so on
2/5 = ?/10
Since 5 * 2 = 10, then we multiply the numerator by 2. 2 * 2 = 4
2/5 = 4/10
thank u so much ms.sue.
You're very welcome, Yariah.
To find the missing value represented by "?", in the equation 1/3 + ?/6, we need to have a common denominator for the fractions. In this case, the common denominator is 6.
To do this, we multiply the first fraction, 1/3, by 2/2 (which is equal to 1) to obtain the equivalent fraction 2/6.
Now we can rewrite the equation as 2/6 + ?/6.
Since the denominators are the same, we can add the numerators to find the sum: 2/6 + ?/6 = (2 + ?)/6.
Therefore, the value of "?" is equal to the number that, when added to 2, gives the numerator of the new fraction.
