Answer

(i) Equivalent fraction of 1535\dfrac{15}{35} with denominator 7

To get 7 from 35, we have to divide 35 by 5.

So, divide both numerator and denominator by 5.

1535=15÷535÷5=37.\Rightarrow \dfrac{15}{35} = \dfrac{15 \div 5}{35 \div 5} \\[1em] = \dfrac{3}{7}.

Hence, the required equivalent fraction = 37\dfrac{3}{7}.

(ii) Equivalent fraction of 29\dfrac{2}{9} with denominator 63

To get 63 from 9, we have to multiply 9 by 7.

So, multiply both numerator and denominator by 7.

29=2×79×7=1463.\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{9} = \dfrac{2 \times 7}{9 \times 7} \\[1em] = \dfrac{14}{63}.

Hence, the required equivalent fraction = 1463\dfrac{14}{63}.
