Question 5.
Find two equivalent fractions for each of the following fractions.

Solution:

Like fractions and unlike fractions

Fractions such as 17,47,67 whose denominators are equal, are called ‘like fractions’.
Fractions such as 13,48,911 which have different denominators are called unlike fractions’.

Converting unlike fractions into like fractions

Example (1) Convert 5/6 and 7/9 into like fractions.
Here, we must find a common multiple for the numbers 6 and 9.
Multiples of 6 : 6, 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, ……..
Multiples of 9 : 9, 18, 27, 36, 45 ……..
Here, the number 18 is a multiple of both 6 and 9. So, let us make 18 the denominator of both fractions.

Thus, 15/18 and 1418 are like fractions, respectively equivalent to 5/6 and 7/9.
Here, 18 is a multiple of both 6 and 9. We could also choose numbers like 36 and 54 as the common denominators.

Example (2) Convert 4/8 and 5/16 into like fractions.
As 16 is twice 8, it is easy to make 16 the common denominator.
48=4×28×2=816 Thus, 8/16 and 5/16 are the required like fractions.

Example (3) Find a common denominator for 4/7 and 3/4.
The number 28 is a multiple of both 7 and 4. So, make 28 the common denominator. . Therefore, 16/28 and 21/28 are the required like fractions.
