(v)	`220/550`	(e)	`9/10`

Answer 1

(i)	`250/400`	(d)	`5/8`
(ii)	`180/200`	(e)	`9/10`
(iii)	`660/990`	(a)	`2/3`
(iv)	`180/360`	(c)	`1/2`
(v)	`220/550`	(b)	`2/5`

Explanation:

(i) `250/400`

= `((5 xx 50))/((8 xx 50))`

= `5/8`

`25/40` and `30/48` are two more fractions

(ii) `180/200`

= `((9 xx 20))/((10 xx 20))`

= `9/10`

`18/20` and `27/30` are two more fractions

(iii) `660/990`

= `((2 xx 330))/((3 xx 330))`

= `2/3`

`20/30` and `200/300` are two more fractions

(iv) `180/360`

= `((1 xx 180))/((2 xx 180))`

= `1/2`

`20/40` and `30/60` are two more fractions

(v) `220/550`

= `((2 xx 110))/((5 xx 110))`

= `2/5`

`20/50` and `40/100` are two more fractions
