Question

What is The equivalent fraction of 1/6 whose denominator 54

Answer 1

A fraction is determined by its numerator and its denominator. Since the denominator must be equal to 54, then, assume that x is the numerator. Since x/54 must be equal to 1/6, then:

`(x)/(54)=(1)/(6)`

Multiply both members by 54:

`\begin{gathered} 54*(x)/(54)=54*(1)/(6) \\ \Rightarrow x=(54)/(6) \end{gathered}`

Since 54/6 is equal to 9, then, the fraction equivalent to 1/6 with denominator equal to 54, is:
