Step-by-step explanation:

As Mandy shaded the 3 trips out of the total six strips. It shows the fraction of $\frac{3}{6}$

and $\frac{3}{6}=\frac{1}{2}$

To shade the given fraction strip so that it represents a fraction that is equivalent to Mandy's fraction strip, we should shade 2 stripes out of 4 that is equivalent to $\frac{1}{2}$

i.e. $\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

My Fraction Strip is equivalent to Mandy's Fraction Strip because both are equal to $\frac{1}{2}$
