Question

Which fraction is equivalent to StartFraction 2 Over 6 EndFraction? StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction, because StartFraction 2 Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 2 + 1 Over 6 + 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction StartFraction 3 Over 9 EndFraction, because StartFraction 2 Over 6 EndFraction = one-third and One-third = StartFraction 3 Over 9 EndFraction StartFraction 3 Over 12 EndFraction, because StartFraction 2 Over 6 EndFraction = one-third and One-third = StartFraction 3 Over 12 EndFraction StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction, because StartFraction 2 Over 6 EndFraction = one-half = StartFraction 2 + 1 Over 6 + 2 EndFraction = StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction

Answer 2

Question:

Which fraction is equivalent to $\frac{2}{6}$?

- $\frac{3}{7}$ because $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{2 + 1}{6 + 1}$

- $\frac{3}{9}$ because $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9}$

- $\frac{3}{12}$ because $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9}$

- $\frac{3}{8}$ because $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2+1}{6+2} = \frac{3}{8}$

Answer:

- $\frac{3}{9}$ because $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Two fractions are said to be equal if and only if they give the same value when simplified.

The equivalent of $\frac{2}{6}$ is as explained in the selected option;

First, divide numerator and denominator by 2

$\frac{2/2}{6/2}$

Then simplify

2/2 = 1 and 6/2 = 3; So;

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

Multiply numerator and denominator by 3

$\frac{1*3}{3*3} = \frac{3}{9}$

Hence, $\frac{2}{6}$ is equivalent to $\frac{3}{9}$
