Answer:


\frac {1} {3} and
\frac {8} {24}

Explanation:

We are given a fraction
\frac {2} {6} and we are to write two other fractions that are equivalent to this given fraction.

The given fraction
\frac {2} {6} can be further simplified if we divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2 to get
\frac {1} {3}.

Also, the fraction
\frac {8} {24} is equivalent to
\frac {2} {6} as it also simplifies to
\frac {2} {6} and then
\frac {1} {3}.
