Equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator is [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]
Solution:
A fraction is represented as:
[tex]fraction = \frac{numerator}{denominator}[/tex]
Given that,
The numerator and the denominator of a fraction are both odd numbers
Odd numbers have the digits 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 in their ones place
Let us consider the odd number 25 and 45
numerator = 25
denominator = 45
Then the fraction is:
[tex]fraction = \frac{25}{45}[/tex]
You can make equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both top and bottom by the same amount
Divide both numerator and denominator by 5
[tex]Equivalent\ fraction = \frac{25 \div 5}{45 \div 5}\\\\Equivalent\ fraction = \frac{5}{9}[/tex]
Thus equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator is found
You can write an equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator
This is the ratio of two integers:
We are to determine if you can write an equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator.
