Chapter SH, Problem 4.6E

To determine

To find: The five fraction that is equivalent to the given fraction_.

Answer to Problem 4.6E

The five equivalent fraction are $\frac{14}{20},\frac{21}{30},\frac{28}{40},\frac{35}{50},\frac{42}{60}$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given:

The given fraction is $\frac{7}{10}$ .

Calculation:

Then five equivalent fraction is obtained by multiplying the denominator and the numerator by the same number of different values.

The five equivalent fraction of $\frac{7}{10}$ is,

  $\begin{array}{l}\frac{7}{10}\times \frac{2}{2}=\frac{14}{20}\\ \frac{7}{10}\times \frac{3}{3}=\frac{21}{30}\\ \frac{7}{10}\times \frac{4}{4}=\frac{28}{40}\\ \frac{7}{10}\times \frac{5}{5}=\frac{35}{50}\end{array}$

Also,

  $\frac{7}{10}\times \frac{6}{6}=\frac{42}{60}$

Thus, the five equivalent fraction are $\frac{14}{20},\frac{21}{30},\frac{28}{40},\frac{35}{50},\frac{42}{60}$ .
