Question

Here is a list of four fractions 1/16 2/8 15/60 3/9

one of these are not equivalent to 1/4
write down this fraction

Answer 1

3/9

Explanation:

`(1)/(4)\cdot(4)/(4)=(4)/(16)\\\\(1)/(4)\cdot(2)/(2)=(2)/(8)\\\\(1)/(4)\cdot(15)/(15)=(15)/(60)`

We can turn 1/4 into all of the first three fractions by multiplying it by some version of 1, but we can't do the same for 3/9: trying to multiply 1/4 by 3/3 will get us a different fraction: 3/12. Additionally, 3/9 in lowest form is 1/3, and 1/3 is clearly not equal to 1/4.

Answer 2

3/9

Explanation:

15*4= 60 so 15/60 is equivalent to 1/4.

1/16 is just a smaller equivalent of 2/8 which is just a smaller equivaent of 1/4.

3/9 simplified is 1/3. I/s is bigger than 1/4.

Hope this helps
