Multiply 6/7 by a Factor of 5: Fraction Scaling Practice

It means to create an equivalent fraction where both the numerator and denominator are 5 times larger. Think of it as making the fraction pieces smaller but having more of them!

Scaling means proportional growth, not addition. If you just add 5 to get $\frac{11}{12}$, you get a completely different value than $\frac{6}{7}$!

Yes! They're equivalent fractions. You can verify this by dividing: 30 ÷ 35 = 0.857... and 6 ÷ 7 = 0.857... Both give the same decimal value.

The question asks for the scaled fraction, so $\frac{30}{35}$ is the correct answer. Simplifying would take you back to where you started!

Use cross multiplication: 6 × 35 should equal 7 × 30. Since 210 = 210, your fractions are equivalent! ✓

Same process! For factor 3: $\frac{6}{7}$ becomes $\frac{18}{21}$. For factor 10: it becomes $\frac{60}{70}$. Always multiply both parts by the same number!
