Answer:
3/5 = 6/10 = 9/15
Step-by-step explanation:
The picture shows a stained glass window that has 5 panels. The panels are presumed to be equal in size. Each represents 1/5 of the area of the window.
Three of those panels are gold. (The other two are green.) So, the fraction of the window that is gold is ...
3 × 1/5 = 3/5

Multiplying numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same value gives an equivalent fraction. We can write two more equivalent fractions using 2 and 3 as multipliers:
3/5 = (3/5)(2/2) = 6/10
3/5 = (3/5)(3/3) = 9/15
Three equivalent fractions for the gold portion of the window are ...
3/5, 6/10, 9/15.
