Question

Write three fractions that are equivalent to 3 over 11 , but written in higher terms. One of them must

include one or more variables.

Answer 1

Three fractions that are equivalent to
`(3)/(11)` are:
`(6)/(22)`,
`(24)/(88)` and
`(144)/(528)`.

Explanation:

Equivalent fractions are set of fractions in which when simplified, they have the same answer.

Given:
`(3)/(11)`

i. multiply the numerator and denominator of
`(3)/(11)` by 2,

=
`(3*2)/(11*2)` =
`(6)/(22)`

i. multiply both the numerator and denominator of
`(6)/(22)` by 4,

=
`(6*4)/(22*4)`=
`(24)/(88)`

ii. multiply the numerator and denominator of
`(24)/(88)` by 6,

=
`(24*6)/(88*6)` =
`(144)/(528)`

So that;

`(3)/(11)` =
`(6)/(22)` =
`(24)/(88)` =
`(144)/(528)`.

Three fractions that are equivalent to
`(3)/(11)` are:
`(6)/(22)`,
`(24)/(88)` and
`(144)/(528)`.
