Which method can be used to find a fraction equivalent to Five-sixths? Five-sixths = StartFraction 5 times 2 over 6 times 3 EndFraction = Ten-eighteenths Five-sixths = StartFraction 5 times 3 over 6 times 4 EndFraction = StartFraction 15 over 24 EndFraction Five-sixths = StartFraction 5 times 5 over 6 times 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 25 over 36 EndFraction Five-sixths = StartFraction 5 times 3 over 6 times 3 EndFraction = Fifteen-eighteenths

The correct option is

d) Five-sixths = StartFraction 5 times 3 over 6 times 3 EndFraction = Fifteen-eighteenths = 15/18 : 1 = 15/18 : 3/3 = 5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Which method can be used to find a fraction equivalent to Five-sixths?

a) Five-sixths = StartFraction 5 times 2 over 6 times 3 EndFraction = Ten-eighteenths

Here 10/16 = 5/8 ≠ 5/6

b) Five-sixths = StartFraction 5 times 3 over 6 times 4 EndFraction = StartFraction 15 over 24 EndFraction

15/24 = 5/8 ≠ 5/6

c) Five-sixths = StartFraction 5 times 5 over 6 times 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 25 over 36 EndFraction

25/36 ≠ 5/6

d) Five-sixths = StartFraction 5 times 3 over 6 times 3 EndFraction = Fifteen-eighteenths

15/18 ⇒ 15/18:3/3 = 5/6

note that 3/3 = 1
