Question

What are two equivalent fractions for 11/13?

Answer 1

`110/130` or `22/26`

Explanation:

As long as the top and bottom of the fraction are kept to the same ratio - so the top and bottom numbers change by the same multiplier - the fraction is still the same.

Answer 2

We are not given specifics so we can choose what we wish.

`22/26 " "&" "33/39`

Explanation:

Both 11 and 13 are prime numbers so we can not reduce them proportionately and still have whole numbers. Thus we will need to increase them.

Multiply by 1 and you do not change the actual value. However, 1 comes in many forms.

`11/13xx1 ->11/13xx2/2" " = " "(11xx2)/(13xx2)" " =" " 22/26`

`11/13xx1->11/13xx3/3" "=" "(11xx3)/(13xx3)" "=" "33/39`
