Question

which fraction is equivalent to \\(\frac{4}{8}\\)?\\(\frac{2}{8}\\) \\(\frac{2}{4}\\) \\(\frac{2}{3}\\) \\(\frac{5}{8}\\) submit

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the given fraction

Simplify $\frac{4}{8}$ by dividing numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 4. So, $\frac{4\div4}{8\div4}=\frac{1}{2}$.

Step2: Simplify each option

• For $\frac{2}{8}$: Divide numerator and denominator by 2, we get $\frac{2\div2}{8\div2}=\frac{1}{4}$, not equal to $\frac{1}{2}$.
• For $\frac{2}{4}$: Divide numerator and denominator by 2, we get $\frac{2\div2}{4\div2}=\frac{1}{2}$, which is equal to the simplified form of $\frac{4}{8}$.
• For $\frac{2}{3}$: It cannot be simplified to $\frac{1}{2}$.
• For $\frac{5}{8}$: It is not equal to $\frac{1}{2}$.

Answer:

B. $\frac{2}{4}$ (assuming the options are labeled as A. $\frac{2}{8}$, B. $\frac{2}{4}$, C. $\frac{2}{3}$, D. $\frac{5}{8}$)
