Question

Find 3 fractions that are equivalent to 3/8. explain your method

Answer 1

Hey Aarya!

If we `scale` both the numerator and denominator by the same value, then we can create other equivalent fractions. By scale I mean: Multiply both the top and bottom of the fraction by the same value.

So here is one we can try.
Let's multiply numerator and denominator by 3.

`\rm \frac38\cdot\frac33=\frac9{24}`
Yay we did it! We found another fraction which is equivalent to 3/8.
