Question

Which fraction is equivalent to StartFraction 5 Over 20 EndFraction? StartFraction 4 Over 16 EndFraction, because StartFraction 5 Over 20 EndFraction = one-fourth and One-fourth = StartFraction 4 Over 16 EndFraction StartFraction 4 Over 12 EndFraction, because StartFraction 5 Over 20 EndFraction = one-fourth and One-fourth = StartFraction 4 Over 12 EndFraction StartFraction 4 Over 19 EndFraction, because StartFraction 5 Over 20 EndFraction = StartFraction 5 minus 1 Over 20 minus 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 4 Over 19 EndFraction StartFraction 4 Over 15 EndFraction, because StartFraction 5 Over 20 EndFraction = one-fifth = StartFraction 5 minus 1 Over 20 minus 5 EndFraction = StartFraction 4 Over 15 EndFraction

Answer 1

`(5)/(20) = (1)/(4) = (4)/(16)`

Explanation:

Given

`Fraction = (5)/(20)`

Required

Get equivalent fractions

`Fraction = (5)/(20)`

Divide numerator and denominator by 5

`Fraction = (5/5)/(20/5)`

`Fraction = (1)/(4)`

Multiply the numerator ad denominator by 4

`Fraction = (1 * 4)/(4 * 4)`

`Fraction = (4)/(16)`

Hence:

`(5)/(20) = (1)/(4) = (4)/(16)`
