Answer:


(1)/(5)\ is\ equivalent\ to\ fraction\ with\ the\ denominator\ 10\ , 15\ , 25\ , 40\ are (2)/(10)\ , (3)/(15)\ , (5)/(25)\, (8)/(40).

Explanation:

As given


Taylor\ cuts\ (1)/(5)\ sheet\ of\ construction\ paper\ for\ an\ arts\ and\ crafts\ project.

Thus


= (1)/(5)

Multiply numerator and denominator by 2 .

Thus


(1)/(5)=(1* 2)/(5* 2)


(1)/(5)=(2)/(10)

Second case


= (1)/(5)

Multiply numerator and denominator by 3 .

Thus


(1)/(5)=(1* 3)/(5* 3)


(1)/(5)=(3)/(15)

Third case


= (1)/(5)

Multiply numerator and denominator by 5 .

Thus


(1)/(5)=(1* 5)/(5* 5)


(1)/(5)=(5)/(25)

Fourth


= (1)/(5)

Multiply numerator and denominator by 8 .

Thus


(1)/(5)=(1* 8)/(5* 8)


(1)/(5)=(8)/(40)


Therefore\ (1)/(5)\ is\ equivalent\ to\ fraction\ with\ the\ denominator\ 10\ , 15\ , 25\ , 40\ are (2)/(10)\ , (3)/(15)\ , (5)/(25)\, (8)/(40).
