#10/48, 15/72, 20/96, 35/168, 55/264 # etc etc etc

There is not just one fraction equivalent to #5/24#, but an infinite number. #5/24# is the simplest form.

You can find an equivalent fraction by multiplying the top and bottom by the same number.

This is the same as multiplying by #color(blue)(1)# which does not change the value of a number.

#5/24 color(blue)(xx2/2) = 10/48#

#5/24 color(blue)(xx3/3) = 15/72#

#5/24 color(blue)(xx4/4) = 20/96#

#5/24 color(blue)(xx7/7) = 35/168#

#5/24 color(blue)(xx11/11) = 55/264#

You can find any equivalent fraction in this way.
