his fraction by 3 he

can simplify the

answer.

When he multiplies

his fraction by 4 he

gets a whole

number.

What is Eduardo's fraction?

Answer 1

The fraction is
`(1)/(4)`.

Explanation:

Eduardo Is thinking of a non-unit fraction with a single-digit denominator.

Assuming the fraction to be
`(1)/(x)`.

When Eduardo multiplies his fraction by 5 he gets a mixed number and when he multiplies his fraction by 3 he can simplify the answer.

Therefore, the fraction chosen by Eduardo will be
`(1)/(x)`, where x is between 5 and 3.

So, the fraction is
`(1)/(4)`.

Again, when he multiplies his fraction by 4 he gets
`((1)/(4) * 4) = 1` which is a whole number. (Answer)
