Recall that two fractions are equivalent if they represent the same amount.

From the given diagram we get that:


(1)/(2)=(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)=(1)/(4)+(1)/(4).

Now, notice that:


\begin{gathered} (1)/(6)+(1)/(6)+(1)/(6)=(3)/(6), \\ (1)/(4)+(1)/(4)=(2)/(4). \end{gathered}

Therefore


(1)/(2),(3)/(6),\text{ and }(2)/(4)

are equivalent.
