Explanation:

Two-fifths represents two out of five. (2/5)

We can include 2/5 as one of our answers.

How to find other equivalent fractions?

Multiply the numerator and denominator by the same whole number, for example 2.


(2 * 2)/(5 * 2) = (4)/(10)

When 4/10 is simplified (divided by 2) it equals 2/5.

4/10 is another correct answer.

Multiply 2/5 by 3, 4, and 5:


(2 * 3)/(5 * 3) = (6)/(15)


(2 * 4)/(5 * 4) = (8)/(20)


(2 * 5)/(5 * 5) = (10)/(25)

6/15, 8/20, 10/25 when simplified equals 2/5.

2/5, 4/10, 6/15, 8/20, 10/25 are, and can be your answer choices.
