If the numerator and the denominator of a fraction are both odd numbers, can you write an equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator? give an example to explain

You can write an equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator

This is the ratio of two integers:

We are to determine if you can write an equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator.

Ratio = 5/15

Simplify

Ratio = (5*1)/(5*3)

Ratio = 1/3

This shows that you can write an equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator

Equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator is  

Solution:

A fraction is represented as:

Given that,

The numerator and the denominator of a fraction are both odd numbers

Odd numbers have the digits 1, 3, 5, 7 or 9 in their ones place

Let us consider the odd number 25 and 45

numerator = 25

denominator = 45

Then the fraction is:

You can make equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both top and bottom by the same amount

Divide both numerator and denominator by 5

Thus equivalent fraction with a smaller numerator and denominator is found
