Jeff uuses3 fifth_size strips to model 3/5. H3 wants to use tenth-Size stripes to model an equivalent fraction. How many tenth-tenth-size. Strips will he need

1 answer

3/5 is the same as 6/10

Since you had 5ths and wanted 10ths

Divide to find the factor of 2.
Then multiply the top(numerator) and the bottom (denominator) of the fraction by 2/2 to get the 6/10.
