Answer:

3:5 = 6: 10

Explanation:

(3/5) × (2/2) = (3 × 2) / (5 × 2) = 6/10

Equivalent fractions can be written by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. This is the reason why these fractions get reduced to the same number when they are simplified.

Divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
