Answer

(i) 23=65315\dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{\boxed{\phantom{653}}}{15}

To get 15 from 3, we have to multiply 3 by 5.

So, multiply both numerator and denominator by 5.

23=2×53×5=1015.\Rightarrow \dfrac{2}{3} = \dfrac{2 \times 5}{3 \times 5} \\[1em] = \dfrac{10}{15}.

Hence, replace 653\boxed{\phantom{653}} by 10.

(ii) 718=42653\dfrac{7}{18} = \dfrac{42}{\boxed{\phantom{653}}}

To get 42 from 7, we have to multiply 7 by 6.

So, multiply both numerator and denominator by 6.

718=7×618×6=42108.\Rightarrow \dfrac{7}{18} = \dfrac{7 \times 6}{18 \times 6} \\[1em] = \dfrac{42}{108}.

Hence, replace 653\boxed{\phantom{653}} by 108.

(iii) 4653=1215\dfrac{4}{\boxed{\phantom{653}}} = \dfrac{12}{15}

To get 4 from 12, we have to divide 12 by 3.

So, divide both numerator and denominator by 3.

1215=12÷315÷3=45.\Rightarrow \dfrac{12}{15} = \dfrac{12 \div 3}{15 \div 3} \\[1em] = \dfrac{4}{5}.

Hence, replace 653\boxed{\phantom{653}} by 5.

(iv) 65311=70154\dfrac{\boxed{\phantom{653}}}{11} = \dfrac{70}{154}

To get 11 from 154, we have to divide 154 by 14.

So, divide both numerator and denominator by 14.

70154=70÷14154÷14=511.\Rightarrow \dfrac{70}{154} = \dfrac{70 \div 14}{154 \div 14} \\[1em] = \dfrac{5}{11}.

Hence, replace 653\boxed{\phantom{653}} by 5.
