Fraction questions??

Question

I know i've already asked like 4 questions about fractions but this is going to be the last one I promise.

Ok, I need help with my homework.

1. Write down two fractions equivalent to 3/10 (3 over 10)
2. Find 1/4 of 36

Thanks:)

Oh and p.s I was wondering if I was correct on this question...
it says "Write down two fractions equivalent to 2/5" I put 4/10 and 6/15

Thanks again :L

Oh and If you want me to answer any of your questions i'll try to answer them:)

Answer 1

1. 3/10 is the same as 6/20 (3*2/10*2) and 9/30 (3*3/10*3)



2. 1/4(36) is the same as (36*1)/4 or 36/4 = 9



P.S. your answer is correct:)

Answer 2

1)Think of fractions as division problems. 3/10 equals 3 divided by 10 which will equal 0.3 if you put this into a calculator.



If you multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number, you are basically multiplying by 1 because any number divided by itself equals 1. You create equivalent fractions when doing this because any number times 1 equals itself.



3/10 times 2/2 = 6/20 3/10 times 3/3 equals 9/30 so on to infinity.



2) "Of" in math speak translates to "times" or "multiplied by" 1/4 times 36/1 = 36/4 = 36 divided by 4 which equals 9. Another way to think of this is to break 36 into 4 parts. You would have 4 groups of 9 in each set. You have one out of the four sets so you'd have 9.



Hope this helps. Keep studying math. It's a great subject and helps you think well.

Answer 3

1. 6/20 and 9/30 are equivalent fractions to 3/10.



2. 1/4 of 36 is 9.



the equivalents of 2/5 are correct.

Answer 4

3/10 = 6/20 = 12/40 = 30/100 = 60/200 ...



(1/4) x 36 = 36/4 = 9



yes, 2/5 = 4/10 = 5/15
