• A. $\frac{2}{4}\mathrm{and}\frac{3}{4}$
• B. $\frac{2}{6}\mathrm{and}\frac{3}{6}$
• C. $\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{and}\frac{6}{8}$
• D. $\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{and}\frac{3}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{2}{4}\mathrm{and}\frac{3}{4}$

LCM of (2,4) is 4.
By multiplying the numerator and denominator of $\frac{1}{2}$ by 2, we get

$\frac{1}{2}=\frac{1\times 2}{2\times 2}=\frac{2}{4}$.

The denominator of $\frac{2}{4}$ and $\frac{3}{4}$ is 4. Hence, $\frac{2}{4}$ is a like fraction to $\frac{3}{4}$.
