Question

Which combination of equivalent fractions do these two figures imply?

• A. $\frac{3}{4},\frac{9}{12}$
• B. $\frac{3}{4},\frac{8}{12}$
• C. $\frac{3}{4},\frac{6}{8}$
• D. $\frac{12}{16},\frac{3}{4}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$\frac{3}{4},\frac{9}{12}$

Equivalent fractions are fractions that can be reduced to the same simplest form.

Here in circle, 3 parts are shaded out of 4, i.e, $\frac{3}{4}$
And in recatngle, 9 parts are shaded out of 12, i.e, $\frac{9}{12}$

Hence, $\frac{3}{4},\frac{9}{12}$ are the equivalent fractions represented by these figures.
