An equivalent fraction to 5/16 is

b. 10/32
c.1/2
d. 10/16

Answer 1

Answer: B) 10/32

==================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply top and bottom of the original fraction by 2

`(5)/(16) = (5*2)/(16*2) = (10)/(32)`

Or you could go in reverse to divide each part of 10/32 by the GCF 2

`(10)/(32) = (10/ 2)/(32/ 2) = (5)/(16)`

-------------------

Another alternative is to use your calculator to find the decimal version of each answer choice

5/32 = 0.15625

10/32 = 0.3125

1/2 = 0.5

10/16 = 0.625

And compare these results with 5/16 = 0.3125

Both 5/16 and 10/32 have the same decimal value 0.3125, which makes them equal.
