Answer:

2 6/30 and 1 25/30

Explanation:

First, you need to find 30÷5 and 30÷6. You do this because you need to know the multiplier when you create an equivalent fraction. 30÷5 is 6 and 30÷6 is 5. 2 1/5. You need to multiply the 1 and 5 by 6, that is 2 6/30. 1 5/6. 5 and 6 multiplied by 5 is 25 and 30. 1 5/6=1 25/30
