This is a standard approach to creating equivalent fractions. By multiplying the numerators and denominators by the same number, the value of the fraction doesn&#8217;t change, but it now has the desired common denominator. This technique is useful in operations involving fractions, such as addition or subtraction, where a common denominator is needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Write equivalent fractions for 2\/3 and 3\/5 using 15 as the common denominator.
