Question

Which of the following pairs of options represents equivalent fractions?

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

Answer 1

The correct option is C a, c

Equivalent fractions are fractions that represent the same part of the whole.
The fraction of shaded parts in figure a is $\frac{1}{3}$.
The fraction of shaded parts in figure b is $\frac{2}{8}=\frac{2÷2}{8÷2}=\frac{1}{4}$.
The fraction of shaded parts in figure c is $\frac{2}{6}=\frac{2÷2}{6÷2}=\frac{1}{3}$.
The fraction of shaded parts in figure d is $\frac{2}{7}$.
Hence, figures a and c represent equivalent fractions.
