3. geerky42

Well, when you do something to numerator, like multiplying by something, you must do same in denominator, right?

4. anonymous

so 5*6 & 20*6 ?

5. Haseeb96

No first we will try to put 22

6. anonymous

or 20*6=___ divided by 6=___

7. Haseeb96

put its answer dont match with the given answer now put 24 when we will solve this 20/24 you will get 5/6 So C is the correct answer

8. geerky42

No, for example in $$\dfrac{1}{2}$$, when you multiply numerator by 2, you must do same for denominator, so value of fraction won't change. $$\dfrac{1\times2}{2\times2}$$

9. geerky42

Here, you have $$\dfrac{5}{6}$$ What should you do to numerator to get to 20?
