Hey there!

ORIGINAL QUESTION: “FINDING OUT WHATS EQUIVALENT TO 5/6”

We’re NOT sure what your equation should look like so we will make it like:

5/6 = z/6


CURRENT EQUATION:

5/6 = z/6

FIRST: CROSS MULTIPLY the NUMBERS

5(6) = z(6)

5(6) = 6(z)

NEW EQUATION (TEMPORARILY)

30 = 6z

6z = 30

DIVIDE 6 to BOTH SIDES

6z/6 = 30/6

CANCEL out: 6/6 because it give you 1

KEEP: 30/6 because it help solve for the z-value

NEW EQUATION: z = 30/6

SIMPLIFY IT!

z = 5


Thus, your answer is: 5/6 = 5/6


FUN FACT: THERE IS MULTIPLE FRACTIONS THAT ARE EQUIVALENT TO THE GIVEN FRACTION.

EXAMPLE(S):

• 10/12
• 20/24
• 30/36
• 40/48
• 50/60
• 60/72

ANYWAY!

Good luck on your assignment & enjoy your day!
