Question

Which two fractions are equivalent to whole numbers? 1/2. 2/6. 4/8. 5/5. 7/8. 10/1.

Answer 1

In order to find the fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers, we can convert each fraction to its decimal form.

So we have that:

`\begin{gathered} (1)/(2)=0.5 \\ \\ (2)/(6)=0.333\ldots \\ \\ (4)/(8)=0.5 \\ \\ (5)/(5)=1 \\ \\ (7)/(8)=0.875 \\ \\ (10)/(1)=10 \end{gathered}`

So the fractions that are equivalent to whole numbers are 5/5 and 10/1.
