Question

Name an equivalent ratio for 1/2 with a denominator of 20

Answer 1

1/2=x/20
times both sides by 20
20/2=x
10=x
answer is 10/20

Answer 2

The equivalent ratio for
`(1)/(2)` that has a denominator 20 is

`(10)/(20)`

Explanation:

Name an equivalent ratio for 1/2 with a denominator of 20

WE need to find the equivalent ratio for
`(1)/(2)` that has a denominator 20

To get the same ratio with denominator 20 , lets make a proportion'

`(1)/(2) =(x)/(20)`

Now we solve for x, cross multiply the fractions

`20=2x`

Divide both sides by 2

`x=10`

The proportion becomes

`(1)/(2) =(10)/(20)`

The equivalent ratio for
`(1)/(2)` that has a denominator 20 is

`(10)/(20)`
