Question

What is not a pair of equivalent fractions for 5/8 and 1/2

Answer 1

Two fractions equivalent to each: Just divide or multiply both top AND bottom by the same number.
5/6: 10/12 OR 15/18 
15/30: 5/10 OR 1/2 
45/60: 8/12 OR 4/6 

Rewrite each pair or fractions with common denominator: Find the difference between the two bottom numbers, and multiply top and bottom number. 

5/8 and 3/4: 4X2=8, 3X2=6. So, 5/8 and 6/8. 
2/5 and 1/2: 2/5 and 2.5/5 
9/9 and 5/7: 9/9 and ~5.7/9 

Rewrite each in simple form: Find greatest common factor and divide. 

9/54: 1/6 
20/40: 1/2 
100/110: 10/11 

Are these fractions equivalent? 
No. 5/1 and 5/5 are, because they are both 5 wholes. 1/5 is not because it is a fifth of a whole. 


In what situation can you use multiplication to find equivalent fractions? 
I'm sorry but I do not understand this question.
