Question

Out of $6$ parts, how many parts must be shaded so that the fraction of the shaded part becomes an equivalent fraction of $\frac{2}{4}$ ?

• A. $1$
• B. $2$
• C. $4$
• D. $3$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $3$

Let us represent the fractions visually to get the equivalent fractions.

• $\frac{2}{4}$ means $2$ parts out of $4$ are shaded.
• We get,

• $\frac{?}{6}$ means some parts out of total 6 parts are shaded.
• We get,

• We compare both the diagrams.

• Hence, we have to shade $3$ parts out of $6$ parts to make the fractions equivalent.

Hence, option B is the correct answer.
