Question

Monty is using a numbet line to fractions equivalent to 4/6 he says he can find a equivalent fraction greater than six and an equivalent fraction with a denominator less than six write to explain how monty can use the number line to find an equivalent fraction with an denominator less than 6

Answer 1

2/3 but even though that's not the correct answer it still equivalent to 4/6

Answer 2

Monty can find an equivalent fraction greater than 6 by multiplying a factor to each part of the fraction. However, in this case that's not possible because that's a proper fraction which meas the result will be always less than zero, no matter which equivalent fraction you find, it will always be a proper fraction.

On the other hand, we can find an equivalent fraction with a denominator less than 6. If we simplify the fraction, we can find it

`(4)/(6)=(4 / 2)/(6 / 2) =(2)/(3)`

Therefore, 2/3 is an equivalent fraction with a denominator less than 6.
