Question

What are two equivalent fractions for 4/7?

Answer 1

`8/14" and " 12/21`

Explanation:

To create equivalent fractions from a given fraction.

`• " divide the numerator/ denominator by a common factor"`

`• " multiply the numerator/denominator by the same value"`

4 and 7 have no common factor, other than 1 ,

Hence division does not give an equivalent fraction.

Thus we multiply by any value to produce an equivalent fraction.

Choose the value 2.

`rArr4/7xx2/2=(4xx2)/(7xx2)=8/14larr" is equivalent"`

Choose the value 3

`rArr4/7xx3/3=(4xx3)/(7xx3)=12/21larr" is equivalent"`
