Question

Which of the following options represents a pair of equivalent fractions?

• A. b, c
• B. a, c
• C. a, d
• D. a, b

Answer 1

The correct option is B a, c

Equivalent fractions are fractions that represent the same part of the whole.

Fraction shaded in figure a is $\frac{1}{3}$

Fraction shaded in figure b is $\frac{2}{8}=\frac{1}{4}$

Fraction shaded in figure c is $\frac{2}{6}=\frac{1}{3}$

Fraction shaded in figure d is $\frac{2}{7}$

Hence, a and c represent equivalent fractions.
