Answer 1

6/12 and 5/12

1) Equivalent fractions are fractions that keep the same ratio, like:

1/2 , 2/4, 4/8, etc.

2) To find an equivalent fraction for:

`(1)/(2)\text{ and }(5)/(12)`

Using a Common Denominator, let's prime factorize those denominators, we have 12, as the LCM

So 1/2 is equivalent to 6/12 and 5/12 is equivalent to itself.

3) SO the answer is 6/12 and 5/12
