What are some equivalent fractions for 2/5 ?

Answer 1

To solve this all you need to do is take the fraction 2/5 and multiply it by a number (this means you multiply BOTH the denominator and the numerator)

1. Multiply the original fraction by 2:

`(2*2)/(5*2) = (4)/(10)`

2. Multiply the original fraction by 3:

`(2*3)/(5*3) = (6)/(15)`

3. Multiply the original fraction by 4:

`(2*4)/(5*4) = (8)/(20)`

4. Multiply the original fraction by 5:

`(2*5)/(5*5) = (10)/(25)`

5. Multiply the original fraction by 6:

`(2*6)/(5*6) = (12)/(30)`

All of the fractions above are equal to 2/5 and to each other. You can keep doing this with higher numbers if you wold like, but these are just a few examples.

Hope this helped!
