Find equivalent fractions and rewrite the problem and solve

1001/1500

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest method for doing this is to just average the two numbers.

e.g. to find a number x between the two numbers ab and cd

x=12[ab+cd]

=12[adbd+bcbd]

=ad+bc2bd

In this case…

x=(2×5)+(3×4)2×2×5=10+1230=2230=1115

You can easily see where that came from.

23=1015 and 45=1215

and the ‘common denominator’ means you just have to pick a value between 10 and 12 . i.e. 11

But you can also say…

23=100150 and 45=120150

and choose any of 101150,102150,...,119150

or

23=10001500 and 45=12001500

and choose any of 10011500,10021500,...,11991500

$79500
