Question

Which of the following pairs of fractions will lie at the same location on a number line?

• A. $\frac{3}{4},\frac{6}{8}$
• B. $\frac{5}{6},\frac{5}{8}$
• C. $\frac{2}{4},\frac{3}{5}$
• D. $\frac{2}{3},\frac{1}{5}$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $\frac{3}{4},\frac{6}{8}$

Of the given pairs of fraction, only $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{6}{8}$ are equivalent fractions.
$\frac{3\times 2}{4\times 2}=\frac{6}{8}$
Let's plot these fractions on a number line.


Hence, $\frac{3}{4}$ and $\frac{6}{8}$ are equivalent fractions and will lie at the same point on a number line.
