1. Find 3 fractions that can be simplified 5 times. Explain the way you went about finding them.

2. What fraction has a denominator of 30 and when it is simplified it becomes 2/5?

3. If someone is hungry and they are offered 36/96 or 25/40 of a huge pumpkin pie, which would they rather have?

I only have the answers to 2 & 3

2. 12/30

to get a denominator of 30 from 5, you multiply it by 6

so to get the numerator, you would do the same

2 x 6 = 12

resulting in 12/30

3. the 25/40

36/96 simplified is 6/16

25/40 simplified is 5/8

multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to 5/8 to get a common denominator

6/16 < 10/16

or an easier way is

36/96 = 0.375

25/40 = 0.625

0.375 < 0.625

either way you still get the same answer
