Explanation:

Data

Eva 2/4

Landon 4/8

To answer this question we can follow two processes

- Simplification

1.- Equivalent fractions

Convert both equations to the same denominator (8)

Eva 2/4 = ( 2 x 2) /8 = 4/8

Landon 4/8

The fraction is the same expressed in different ways

2.- Simplification

Eva 2/4 = 1/2

Landon 4/8 = 2/4 = 1/2

The fraction is the same expressed in different ways
