Find a rational number equivalent to 5/7
We can find the equivalent rational numbers by multiplying and dividing the given number by any natural number.
Answer: There are many rational numbers equivalent to 5/7 starting from 10/14, 15/21, 20/28, etc.
Let us see the explanation for a better understanding.
Explanation:
Let us multiply and divide 5/7 by 2.
Since we are multiplying and dividing by the same number, we will get a new rational number whose value is equivalent to 5/7.
5/7 × 2/2 = 10/14
We can multiply it by 3/3 as well and the new rational number will be equivalent to 5/7.
5/7 × 3/3= 15/21
We can find many such equivalent numbers to 5/7.
Thus, a rational number equivalent to 5/7 is 10/14.
