If you write a fraction that is equivalent to 3/5 but has denominator 30, my number will be the sum of the numerator and the denominator of this fraction. What is my number?

Answer 1

Given:

The fraction is
`(3)/(5)`.

Denominator of equivalent fraction is 30.

To find:

The sum of numerator and the denominator of this fraction.

Solution:

We have,

`Fraction=(3)/(5)`

To make denominator 30 multiply the numerator and denominator by 6.

`Fraction=(3* 6)/(5* 6)`

`Fraction=(18)/(30)`

Now, add numerator add denominator.

`18+30=48`

Therefore, the required number is 48.
