Name three different pairs of fractions that have the same product when multiplied. Explain how you got your answer.
Answer (2)
10 5 ∗ 40 10 = 400 50 "> 8 2 ∗ 4 2 = 32 4 < s p an > 4 1 ∗ 2 1 = 8 1
8 1 is obtained by multiplying 2 1 and 4 1 You basically create equivelant fractions for both 1/2 and 1/4 and multiply by each other. This way you get the same result always.
Three pairs of fractions that yield the same product can be found by maintaining the relationship of their numerators and denominators. For example, 2 1 and 4 3 multiply to 8 3 , while 10 5 and 4 1 both simplify to 8 1 . By considering equivalent fractions, we can manipulate them to achieve the same results.
