Which fraction is equivalent to StartFraction 2 Over 6 EndFraction? StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction, because StartFraction 2

Over 6 EndFraction = StartFraction 2 + 1 Over 6 + 1 EndFraction = StartFraction 3 Over 7 EndFraction StartFraction 3 Over 9 EndFraction, because StartFraction 2 Over 6 EndFraction = one-third and One-third = StartFraction 3 Over 9 EndFraction StartFraction 3 Over 12 EndFraction, because StartFraction 2 Over 6 EndFraction = one-third and One-third = StartFraction 3 Over 12 EndFraction StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction, because StartFraction 2 Over 6 EndFraction = one-half = StartFraction 2 + 1 Over 6 + 2 EndFraction = StartFraction 3 Over 8 EndFraction

Which equivalent fraction corresponds to $\frac{2}{6}$ ? - $\frac{3}{7}$ since $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{2 + 1}{6 + 1}$ - $\frac{3}{9}$ as $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9}$

- $\frac{3}{12}$ because $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9}$

- $\frac{3}{8}$ since $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{2} = \frac{2+1}{6+2} = \frac{3}{8}$

The answer is

- $\frac{3}{9}$ because $\frac{2}{6}= \frac{1}{3}$ and $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9}$

A fraction is deemed equivalent if it maintains the same value when expressed in simplest terms. The equivalent to $\frac{2}{6}$ is found in the chosen option;

First, halve both the numerator and denominator by 2

$\frac{2/2}{6/2}$

Then reduce further

2/2 = 1 and 6/2 = 3; Thus;

$\frac{2/2}{6/2} = \frac{1}{3}$

Next, multiply both the numerator and denominator by 3

$\frac{1*3}{3*3} = \frac{3}{9}$

Therefore, $\frac{2}{6}$ equals $\frac{3}{9}$ .
