Answer:

24/60=6/15=2/5=48/120=16/40

Explanation:

Now we see that,

6/15=2/__

Let us say '__' in 2/__ is 'x'

6/15=2/x

6x=15x2

6x=30

x=5

=>2/5

Similarly,

2/5=x/120

2x120=5x

240=5x

5x=240

x=240/5

x=48

=>48/120

48/120=16/x

48/16=120/x

3=120/x

x=120/3

x=40

=>16/40

If we take 6/15 and want to make 2/a equivalent to it, we first find out what was done to 6 (the numerator) to make it a 2. The 6 was divided by 3. So we do the same for 15.
15/3=5
The 3rd fraction is 2/5.
You use a similar method for the 4th fraction, b/120.
Now, we find out what was done to 15 (the denominator) to make it a 120.
The 15 was multiplied by 8. So we do the same for 6.
6*8=48
The 4th fraction is 48/120.
For the last fraction 16/c, we use 2/5 as one numerator (16) is a multiple of the other (2).
2 was multiplied by 8 to get to 16, so we do the same for 5.
5*8=40
The last fraction is 16/40.
