Question

Kylie completed of her painting on Monday and of her painting on Wednesday. Which pair of equivalent fractions can be used to find the fraction of her painting that Kylie completed on Monday and Wednesday?

Answer 1

The equivalent fractions to
`(1)/(4)` and
`(1)/(3)` are
`(3)/(12)` and
`(5)/(15)`

Explanation:

Here, we note that an equivalent fraction to a fraction, is a different fraction from the original fraction that has equal value as the original fraction

Assuming Kylie completed
`(1)/(4)` of her painting on Monday and
`(1)/(3)` of her painting on Wednesday, then the pair of equivalent fraction which can be used to find the fraction of her painting that Kylie completed on Monday and Wednesday are;

`(3)/(12)` and
`(5)/(15)` because;

`(3)/(12) = (3)/(3) * (1)/(4)` and
`(5)/(15) = (5)/(5) * (1)/(3)` .
