Question

which fractions are equivalent to \\(\frac{4}{9}\\)?
hint: there may be more than one.
\\(\frac{8}{18}\\) \\(\frac{6}{8}\\) \\(\frac{3}{5}\\) \\(\frac{1}{2}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify \(\frac{8}{18}\)

Divide numerator and denominator by 2: \(\frac{8\div2}{18\div2}=\frac{4}{9}\). So \(\frac{8}{18}\) is equivalent.

Step2: Simplify \(\frac{6}{8}\)

Divide by 2: \(\frac{6\div2}{8\div2}=\frac{3}{4}
eq\frac{4}{9}\). Not equivalent.

Step3: Check \(\frac{3}{5}\)

\(\frac{3}{5} = 0.6\), \(\frac{4}{9}\approx0.444\). Not equal.

Step4: Check \(\frac{1}{2}\)

\(\frac{1}{2}=0.5
eq\frac{4}{9}\approx0.444\). Not equivalent.

Answer:

\(\frac{8}{18}\)
