Answer 1

Yes they are equivalent. Another fraction would be 2/4

Answer 2

Answer:

The two fractions are equivalent.

$\text{Another equivalent fraction is }\frac{2}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\text{Given brett shaded }\frac{4}{8} \text{of a sheet of notebook paper. Aisha says he shaded }\frac{1}{2}\text{of the paper}$

We have to tell are two fractions equivalent.

$\frac{4}{8}=\frac{4}{2\times4}=\frac{1}{2}$

∴ $\frac{4}{8}\thinspace and\thinspace \frac{1}{2}\text{both are equivalent fractions}$

Another equivalent fraction is

$\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{4}$
