Question 90

Question. 90

Write \(\dfrac{5}{6}\) as a fraction with numerator 60.

Answer:

\(\dfrac{60}{72}\)

Detailed Answer with Explanation:

Step 1: We want the same fraction as (dfrac{5}{6}) but with the top number (numerator) equal to 60.

Step 2: Find what to multiply (5) by to get (60).

(60 div 5 = 12)

Step 3: Multiply the numerator by (12):

(5 imes 12 = 60)

Step 4: To keep the value the same, multiply the denominator by the same number (12):

(6 imes 12 = 72)

Step 5 (Result): The new fraction is (dfrac{60}{72}).

Quick check: If we simplify (dfrac{60}{72}) by dividing top and bottom by (12):

(dfrac{60 div 12}{72 div 12} = dfrac{5}{6})

So, (dfrac{60}{72}) is correct.
