Question

Complete each statement with the number used to create an equivalent tion.

a) Multiply Three-tenths by ___ in both the numerator and denominator to get Six-twentieths.
b) Multiply One-half by ___ in both the numerator and denominator to get Fifteen-thirtieths.
c) Multiply Two-thirds by ___ in both the numerator and denominator to get
d) Multiply 1 by ___ in both the numerator and denominator to get Five-fifths.

Answer 1

To create equivalent fractions for Three-tenths (3/10) and One-half (1/2), you multiply by 2 and 30 respectively. For example, 3/10 becomes 6/20, and 1/2 becomes 15/30. The specific multiplier for Two-thirds is not provided, and for 1 (1/1), the multiplier is 5, resulting in 5/5.

Creating Equivalent Fractions

To create equivalent fractions, you multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same number. Below are the solutions to the provided problems:

a) Multiply Three-tenths (3/10) by 2 in both the numerator and denominator to get Six-twentieths (6/20).

b) Multiply One-half (1/2) by 30 in both the numerator and denominator to get Fifteen-thirtieths (15/30).

c) The specific fraction is not provided to create an equivalent. Please provide the fraction you wish to convert to find the multiplier.

d) Multiply 1 (1/1) by 5 in both the numerator and denominator to get Five-fifths (5/5).

Creating equivalent fractions involves simple multiplication or division, which is similar to finding common denominators or simplifying fractions.
