What is the equivalent fraction to 3/8??

Question

I'm doing my summer math packet, and I got...Dumber, so please help me out. And explain how you got your answer.

Answer 1

6/16, or 9/24, or 12/32... Just multiply the numerator or denominator by the same number- That is 3*2=6 so the numerator is 6 and 8*2=16 so the denominator is 16, hence the answer 6/16.  Same with multiplying by 3, 4, 5, etc.  This particular fraction has no common multiples, so you can't get an equivalent fraction by dividing it into smaller numbers, so you just need to multiply to get equivalent fractions.  Good luck...

Answer 2

3/8 = 6/16 = 9/24 = 12/32 = 15/40 = 18/48 = 21/56 = 24/64 = 27/72

Just multiply both numbers by the same number.

Answer 3

preferred notation is generally .a/b

The number a is called the numerator, and the number b is called the denominator

- Divide the numerator by the denominator. Round to the decimal place asked for, if necessary
