Question

use multiplication to generate an equivalent fraction. enter the correct answers in the boxes. \\(\frac{5}{6} = \frac{\square}{\square} \times \frac{5}{6} = \frac{\square}{\square}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Choose equal fraction multiplier

To get an equivalent fraction, we multiply by a fraction equal to 1. We can pick $\frac{2}{2}$ (any non-zero number over itself works).

Step2: Multiply numerators and denominators

Multiply the numerators: $2 \times 3 = 6$; multiply the denominators: $2 \times 6 = 12$.
Expression: $\frac{2}{2} \times \frac{3}{6} = \frac{2 \times 3}{2 \times 6} = \frac{6}{12}$

Answer:

The first box is $\frac{2}{2}$, the final equivalent fraction is $\frac{6}{12}$ (Note: Any fraction like $\frac{n}{n}$ where $n
eq0$ is valid for the first box, e.g., $\frac{3}{3}$ would give $\frac{9}{18}$, which is also correct.)
