Question

Which of the fractions are equivalent to 3/6? Select all that apply

Answer 1

To find fractions equivalent to \( \frac{3}{6} \), we can simplify it and also look for equivalent fractions by finding multiples.

1. **Simplifying \( \frac{3}{6} \)**:
\[
\frac{3 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{1}{2}
\]
Therefore, \( \frac{3}{6} \) simplifies to \( \frac{1}{2} \).

2. **Finding equivalent fractions**:
To find other equivalent fractions, we can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number:
- If we multiply by 2:
\[
\frac{3 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{6}{12}
\]
- If we multiply by 3:
\[
\frac{3 \times 3}{6 \times 3} = \frac{9}{18}
\]
- If we multiply by 4:
\[
\frac{3 \times 4}{6 \times 4} = \frac{12}{24}
\]

Therefore, equivalent fractions to \( \frac{3}{6} \) include:
- \( \frac{1}{2} \)
- \( \frac{6}{12} \)
- \( \frac{9}{18} \)
- \( \frac{12}{24} \)
