Question

Which fractions are equivalent to 4/8? choose all correct answers (1/5) (2/6) (1/4) (1/2) (2/4)

Answer 1

1/2, 2/4

Explanation:

4/8 = (2/4) =1/2 (if you divide up and down by the same number)

so 4/8 = 1/2

next, let's simplify the choices we have: (1/5) (2/6) (1/4) (1/2) (2/4)

1/5 is already simplified

2/6 = 1/3

1/4 is already simplified

1/2 is already simplified

2/4 = 1/2

Which of these is equal to 4/8 (aka 1/2)?

Answer: 1/2 and 2/4
