Question

Are $\frac{4}{6}$and $\frac{8}{12}$ equal ?

Answer 1

Given $\frac{4}{6}$ and $\frac{8}{12}$

We can reduce them to their simplest forms by dividing numerator and denominator by their HCF as follows:

$\frac{4÷2}{6÷2}=\frac{2}{3}$ and $\frac{8÷4}{12÷4}=\frac{2}{3}$

Since, their simplest form is $\frac{2}{3}$

Thus, $\frac{4}{6}$ and $\frac{8}{12}$ are equivalent fractions.

Hence, $\frac{4}{6}$ and $\frac{8}{12}$are equal.
