Answer for screen readers

Fractions equivalent to ( \frac{2}{6} ) include ( \frac{4}{12} ), ( \frac{6}{18} ), and ( \frac{8}{24} )

Steps to Solve

  1. Multiply by a whole number

To find fractions equivalent to ( \frac{2}{6} ), multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same whole number. For example, let's use 2:

$$ \frac{2 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{4}{12} $$

  1. Multiply by another whole number

We can try another whole number. Let's use 3:

$$ \frac{2 \times 3}{6 \times 3} = \frac{6}{18} $$

  1. Multiply by yet another whole number

We can continue this process with different whole numbers. Let's use 4:

$$ \frac{2 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{8}{24} $$

Fractions equivalent to ( \frac{2}{6} ) include ( \frac{4}{12} ), ( \frac{6}{18} ), and ( \frac{8}{24} )

More Information

Equivalent fractions are found by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number. There are infinitely many equivalent fractions for any given fraction.
