`\text{Given brett shaded }(4)/(8) \text{of a sheet of notebook paper. Aisha says he shaded }(1)/(2)\text{of the paper}`

We have to tell are two fractions equivalent.

`(4)/(8)=(4)/(2*4)=(1)/(2)`

∴
`(4)/(8)\thinspace and\thinspace (1)/(2)\text{both are equivalent fractions}`

Another equivalent fraction is

`(1)/(2)*(2)/(2)=(2)/(4)`
