Write three fractions equivalent to start fraction, 8, divided by, 10, end fraction

Question

10
8
​
. Scale the numerator and denominator up for the first two and down for the third.

Answer 1

To find three fractions equivalent to \( \frac{8}{10} \), we can scale the numerator and denominator.

1. Scaling up:

   • For the first fraction, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by 2: \[ \frac{8 \times 2}{10 \times 2} = \frac{16}{20} \]

   • For the second fraction, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3: \[ \frac{8 \times 3}{10 \times 3} = \frac{24}{30} \]

2. Scaling down:

   • For the third fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2: \[ \frac{8 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{4}{5} \]

So, the three equivalent fractions are:

1. \( \frac{16}{20} \)
2. \( \frac{24}{30} \)
3. \( \frac{4}{5} \)
