Question

Create 2 new equivalent fractions by dividing the numerator and denominator of the given fractions by a non-zero number.

Answer 1

a. 30/45

Start by dividing both numerator and denominator by 5.

`((30)/(5))/((45)/(5))=(6)/(9)`

Then do the same procedure but this time divide by 3

`((30)/(3))/((45)/(3))=(10)/(15)`

b. 18/24

Similar procedure, this time divide by 2.

`((18)/(2))/((24)/(2))=(9)/(12)`

Then divide by 3, as done above.

`((18)/(3))/((24)/(3))=(6)/(8)`
