Question

mike says he can find a fraction equivalent to 1/10 even thought 1/10 is a unit fraction is mike correct

Answer 1

Yes, Mike is correct.

Explanation:

We know that 1/10 is a unit fraction as there is no common factor of the numerator and the denominator except 1.

Now the equivalent fractions can be obtained by multiplying or dividing both top and bottom by the same amount.

so the equivalent fraction of 1/10 is:

`(1)/(10)=(1)/(10)* (2)/(2)=(2)/(20)`

Similarly we can form others as well:

`(1)/(10)=(1)/(10)* (3)/(3)=(3)/(30)`

`(1)/(10)=(1)/(10)* (4)/(4)=(4)/(40)`
