i need to use common factors to write 2 factors equivalent to each fractions:
1) 8/24 i got 2/6 and 1/3
2) 18/36 igot 3/6 and 1/2
3) 27/81 i got 1/3 and 9/27
4) 60/140 i got 3/7 and 15/35
5) 30/42 igot 5/7 and 10/14
6) 45/90 igot 1/2 and 5/10
7) 24/84 i got: 2/ and 6/21
8) 36/80 i got: 9/20 and 18/40
are these ok?
Right.
7) 24/84 i got: 2/7 and 6/21
sorryt again 2/7 and 6/21 for 24/84 thanks for your help!
You're welcome.
18/36=2/6,5/7
you forgot to put the answer for 24/84
Yes, you have correctly used common factors to write two equivalent fractions for each given fraction. Here's a step-by-step explanation of how you arrived at the answers for each fraction:
1) 8/24:
To find the common factor for 8 and 24, you can determine the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the two numbers. In this case, the GCD of 8 and 24 is 8.
Dividing both the numerator and the denominator of 8/24 by the GCD, we get:
8 ÷ 8 = 1 and 24 ÷ 8 = 3
Therefore, two equivalent fractions to 8/24 are 1/3 and 2/6.
Similarly, you applied the same process to the remaining fractions and found their equivalent fractions using common factors correctly. Your answers are as follows:
2) 18/36: 3/6 and 1/2
3) 27/81: 1/3 and 9/27
4) 60/140: 3/7 and 15/35
5) 30/42: 5/7 and 10/14
6) 45/90: 1/2 and 5/10
7) 24/84: 2/8 and 6/21
8) 36/80: 9/20 and 18/40
