Question

Brett shaded 4/8 of a sheet of notebook paper. Aisha says he shaded 1/2 of the paper . Are the two fractions equivalent ? If so , what is another equivalent fraction ?

Answer 1

Yes, the fractions are equivalent. Other fractions are 5/10, 6/12, 7/14,8/16, 9/18, 10/20.

Answer 2

Answer:

We have,

Brett shaded $\frac{4}{8}$ of the paper.

Aisha says that he shaded $\frac{1}{2}$ of the paper.

As, $\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}$

So, we see that both the fractions are equivalent.

Also, $\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, the three fractions $\frac{4}{8}$, $\frac{5}{10}$ and $\frac{1}{2}$ are equivalent.
