Question

Which fractions are equivalent?Hi. I'm on a time crunch, you don't have to fully explain, all I need is the answer

Answer 1

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.

Answer: Last option.
