Question

Which of the following is NOT the equivalent fraction of $\frac{1}{2}$ ?

• A. $\frac{2}{4}$
• B. $\frac{3}{6}$
• C. $\frac{3}{9}$
• D. $\frac{4}{8}$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $\frac{3}{9}$

Equivalent fractions are the fractions that have different numerator and denominator but are equal to the same value.

$\frac{1\times 2}{2\times 2}=\frac{2}{4},\frac{1\times 3}{2\times 3}$ = $\frac{3}{6},\frac{1\times 4}{2\times 4}=\frac{4}{8}$

Options a, b and d can be obtained by multiplying the numerator and denominator of $\frac{1}{2}$ with 2, 3 and 4 respectively but not option c. $\therefore$, it is not an equivalent fraction.
