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 ?

Respuesta :

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

Answer:

We have,

Brett shaded [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex] of the paper.

Aisha says that he shaded [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of the paper.

As, [tex]\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

So, we see that both the fractions are equivalent.

Also, [tex]\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Thus, the three fractions [tex]\frac{4}{8}[/tex], [tex]\frac{5}{10}[/tex] and [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] are equivalent.
