Well, the numerator is the number on top, so in the fraction 3/5, 3 is the numerator. To find the equation with a denominator of 30 that is equivalent, find what the difference is. 30/5 = 6. So now, multiply the numerator by 6. 6 * 3 = 18. The new fraction is 18/30. The numerator is 18. Hope this helps!
