Question

joseph says that there is 5/8 of a ham sandwich left and 1/2 of a turkey sandwich left. what is NOT a pair of equivalent fractions for 5/8 and 1/2?

Answer 1

Answer:

air for $\frac{5}{8}$ is not a pair of equivalent fraction.

Step-by-step explanation:

Fraction of a ham sandwich left = $\frac{5}{8}$

Fraction of a turkey sandwich left = $\frac{1}{2}$

Now we find,

Fraction of sandwich that he eat.

Fraction of a ham sandwich Joseph eat = $1-\frac{5}{8}=\frac{8-5}{8}=\frac{3}{8}$

Fraction of a Turkey sandwich Joseph eat = $1-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{2-1}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$

Now the pair of fraction we have are

Pair 1: $\frac{5}{8}\:\:and\:\:\frac{3}{8}$

Pair 2: $\frac{1}{2}\:\:and\:\:\frac{1}{2}$

Now, Equivalent fraction are those fractions which has equal simplest form.

Clearly above pair of fractions are already in simplest form.

So, pair 1 of fraction are not  equivalent fractions.

Therefore, Pair for $\frac{5}{8}$ is not a pair of equivalent fraction.

Answer 2

Two possible answers are:

5/16 and 3/8.

Explanation:

To create a fraction equivalent to a given fraction, you multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number. This means for 5/8, we could have:

5/8; (5*2)/(8*2)=10/16; (5*3)/(8*3)=15/24; etc.

For 1/2, we could have:

1/2; (1*2)/(2*2)=2/4; (1*3)/(2*3)=3/6; etc.
