Question

Write the number 2 as a fraction with a denominator of 30.

Answer 1

60/30

Explanation:

2 = 2/1

(2×30)/(1×30)

= 60/30

Answer 2

60/30

Explanation:

2 can be written as the rational number
`(2)/(1)` .

We want a denominator of 30, so we multiply the denominator by 30. However, we realize that if we only multiply the denominator by 30, we change the whole number from 2 into 2/30, which are obviously not the same. So, we have to multiply both the numerator and denominator by 30:

`(2)/(1)*(30)/(30) =(60)/(30)`

Thus, the answer is 60/30.

Hope this helps!
