Question

Find an equivalent fraction to 5/6 only.

Answers:
A) 2/4
B) 10/12
C) 11/6
D) 20/24
E) 50/60

Answer 1

B), D), and E) are all equivalent fractions to 5/6.
2/4 isn’t because simplified it equals 1/2
11/6 isn’t because it cannot be simplified further
10/2 = 5 and 12/2 = 6, which is why B) is one of the answers
20/4 = 5 and 24/4 = 6, which is why D) is another answer
50/10 = 5 and 60/10 = 6, which is why E) is the third answer

Answer 2

B D and E

Explanation:

Remark

It's hard to know how to tackle this. I suppose the easiest way is to divide the numerator and denominator by a common factor.

2/4

The common factor is 2

Divide the 2 by 2 and the 4 by 2

2/2 = 1

4/2 = 2

The fraction reduces down the 1/2 which is not 5/6

10 / 12

The common factor is 2.

10/2 = 5

12/2 = 6

Looks like this is your answer. But is it the only one.

11/6

These two have no common factor. The answer is 11/6 which is not 5/6

20 / 24

The common factor of these two is 4

20/4 = 5

24/ 4 = 6

This is also = to 5/6

50 / 60

The common factor is 10

50/10 = 5

60/10 = 6

That's equal to 5/6 as well.
