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!

Hello There!

Some equivalent fractions of 2/5 are:

2/5 = 4/10 = 6/15 = 8/20 = 10/25 = 12/30 = 14/35 = 16/40 = 18/45 = 20/50 = 22/55 = 24/60 = 26/65 = 28/70 = 30/75 = 32/80 = 34/85 = 36/90 = 38/95 = 40/100 = 42/105

Equivalent fractions are fractions that equal each other, but they look different from each other. These fractions are represented differently.
