Question

rewrite the fraction with the indicated denominator.
\\(\frac{2}{5} = \frac{\quad}{40}\\)

\\(\circ\\ \frac{14}{40}\\)
\\(\circ\\ \frac{2}{40}\\)
\\(\circ\\ \frac{8}{40}\\)
\\(\circ\\ \frac{16}{40}\\)

Explanation:

Find the scaling factor for the denominator

$$ \frac{40}{5} = 8 $$

Multiply the numerator by the scaling factor

$$ 2 \times 8 = 16 $$

Write the equivalent fraction

$$ \frac{2}{5} = \frac{16}{40} $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(\frac{14}{40}\)
  • (B) \(\frac{2}{40}\)
  • (C) \(\frac{8}{40}\)
  • (D) \(\frac{16}{40}\) (Correct answer)
