Question

Find the equivalent fraction in the given group ?

$\frac{6}{32},\frac{4}{16},\frac{3}{16},\frac{15}{80}$

Answer 1

Fractions having same value are called Equivalent fraction.

when we multiply or divide both top and bottom of a fraction by the same number then the value of fraction does not change .

$\frac{6}{32}=\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{6}{2}}}{{\displaystyle \frac{32}{2}}}=\frac{3}{16}$

$\frac{4}{16}=\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{4}{4}}}{{\displaystyle \frac{16}{4}}}=\frac{1}{4}$

$\frac{3}{16}$ there is NO common factor between $3\&16$ so fraction will not change

$\frac{15}{80}=\frac{{\displaystyle \frac{15}{5}}}{{\displaystyle \frac{80}{5}}}=\frac{3}{16}$

So from the above conclusion $\frac{6}{32},\frac{3}{16},\frac{15}{80}$ has equal value so these are an example of equivalent fraction.
