Answer 1

To find which fraction is equivalent to \( \frac{4}{5} \), we can simplify or convert each option and compare it to \( \frac{4}{5} \).

1. **\( \frac{6}{7} \)**:
This does not simplify to \( \frac{4}{5} \).

2. **\( \frac{12}{15} \)**:
We can simplify this by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 3:
\[
\frac{12 \div 3}{15 \div 3} = \frac{4}{5}
\]
So, this option is equivalent to \( \frac{4}{5} \).

3. **\( \frac{8}{9} \)**:
This also does not simplify to \( \frac{4}{5} \).

4. **\( \frac{16}{19} \)**:
This does not simplify to \( \frac{4}{5} \).

Therefore, the correct response is **\( \frac{12}{15} \)**.
