Question

Mera painted equal sections of her bedroom wall to make a pattern. She painted 2/5 of the wall white and 1/2 of he wall lavender. Write a equivalent fraction for each using a common denominator

Answer 1

A common denominator for 2/5 is 4/10 because 2/5 times the denominator and numerator by 2 is 4/10 And the common denominator for 1/2 is 5/10 because 1/2 times the denominator and numerator by 5 is 5/10 So the equivalent denominators for both fractions is 4/10 and 5/10
