Question

Explain, in detail, how you know if these are equivalent.

Answer 1

5/8. Each one you multiply by 3 is gonna be 15/24. 5 is a common factor of 15 and 8 is the common factor of 24

Answer 2

they are equivalent.

Explanation:

to find equivalent fractions, we need to multiply the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by the same number. this creates an equivalent fraction. 5 goes into 15 3 times, and 8 goes into 24 3 times. this shows that if we multiply both the numerator and denominator of the first fraction by 3, then we end up with the second fraction, proving that they are the same. hope this helps!
