Question

which fraction is equivalent to \\(\frac{1}{4}\\)? \\(\frac{2}{6}\\) \\(\frac{4}{6}\\) \\(\frac{3}{8}\\) \\(\frac{2}{8}\\)

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify each fraction

Simplify \(\frac{2}{6}\): Divide numerator and denominator by 2, we get \(\frac{2\div2}{6\div2}=\frac{1}{3}\).
Simplify \(\frac{4}{6}\): Divide numerator and denominator by 2, we get \(\frac{4\div2}{6\div2}=\frac{2}{3}\).
Simplify \(\frac{3}{8}\): It cannot be simplified further, and \(\frac{3}{8}
eq\frac{1}{4}\).
Simplify \(\frac{2}{8}\): Divide numerator and denominator by 2, we get \(\frac{2\div2}{8\div2}=\frac{1}{4}\).

Step2: Compare with \(\frac{1}{4}\)

After simplifying, only \(\frac{2}{8}\) simplifies to \(\frac{1}{4}\), so it is equivalent to \(\frac{1}{4}\).

Answer:

\(\frac{2}{8}\) (the last option: \(\frac{2}{8}\))
