Question

If $\frac{1}{7}$ and $\frac{a}{14}$ are equivalent fractions, what is the value of 'a' ?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer 1

The correct option is B 2

We get equivalent fractions when we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Here $\frac{1}{7}$ and $\frac{a}{14}$ are equivalent fractions. To get 14 we will multiply 7 by 2, hence to get 'a' we will also multiply 1 by 2.

Therefore a = $1\times 2$ = 2
