Write the fractions. Are all these fractions equivalent? |
(a) |
(b) |
Answer:
(a) In order, the given figures represent the fractions \[\frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{4},\frac{3}{6}\] and \[\frac{4}{8}\] respectively. Now, \[\frac{2}{4}=\frac{2\div 2}{4\div 2}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\frac{3}{6}=\frac{3\div 3}{6\div 3}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\frac{4}{8}=\frac{4\div 4}{8\div 4}=\frac{1}{2}\] So, the fractions are equivalent (b) In order, the given figures represent the tractions \[\frac{4}{12},\frac{3}{9},\frac{2}{6},\frac{1}{3}\] and \[\frac{6}{15}\] respectively. Now, \[\frac{4}{12}=\frac{2\div 2}{4\div 2}=\frac{1}{2}\] \[\frac{3}{9}=\frac{3\div 3}{9\div 3}=\frac{1}{3}\], \[\frac{2}{6}=\frac{2\div 2}{6\div 2}=\frac{1}{3}\], \[\frac{6}{15}=\frac{6\div 3}{15\div 3}=\frac{2}{5}\] So, \[\frac{4}{12},\frac{3}{9},\frac{2}{6},\frac{1}{3}\] and \[\frac{6}{15}\] are not equivalent.
