Answer:
B D and E
Step-by-step explanation:
Remark
It’s hard to know how to tackle this. I suppose the easiest way is to divide the numerator and denominator by a common factor.
2/4
The common factor is 2
Divide the 2 by 2 and the 4 by 2
2/2 = 1
4/2 = 2
The fraction reduces down the 1/2 which is not 5/6
10 / 12
The common factor is 2.
10/2 = 5
12/2 = 6
Looks like this is your answer. But is it the only one.
11/6
These two have no common factor. The answer is 11/6 which is not 5/6
20 / 24
The common factor of these two is 4
20/4 = 5
24/ 4 = 6
This is also = to 5/6
50 / 60
The common factor is 10
50/10 = 5
60/10 = 6
That’s equal to 5/6 as well.
B), D), and E) are all equivalent fractions to 5/6.
2/4 isn’t because simplified it equals 1/2
11/6 isn’t because it cannot be simplified further
10/2 = 5 and 12/2 = 6, which is why B) is one of the answers
20/4 = 5 and 24/4 = 6, which is why D) is another answer
50/10 = 5 and 60/10 = 6, which is why E) is the third answer
