If Ron sprinted the same distance, Ron sprinted for 1/4 mile. To find the values that are the same as 1/4, let's simplify the fractions.
To simplify the fractions, divide the numerator and the denominator by an integer. The result of each division must be an integer too.
(a) 2/4
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
1/2 ≠ 1/4.
(b) 3/4
This fraction can not be simplifyed.
3/4 ≠ 1/4.
(c) 2/8
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2.
2/8 = 1/4.
(d) 3/12
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 3.
3/12 = 1/4.
(e) 7/8
7/8 can not be simplied.
Answer:
2/8 and 3/12.
