Question

Write five fractions equivalent to the following:
$$5/12$$

Answer 1

$$5 / 12$$

$$5 / 12 = (5 / 12 \times 2 / 2) = (5 / 12 ×\times 3 / 3) = (5 / 12 \times 4 / 4) = (5 / 12 \times 5 / 5) = (5 / 12 \times 6 / 6)$$

$$\therefore 5 / 12 = 10 / 24 = 15 / 36 = 20 / 48 = 25 / 60 = 30 / 72$$

The five fractions equivalent to $$5 / 12$$ are $$10 / 24, 15 / 36, 20 / 48, 25 / 60$$ and $$30 / 72$$
