To determine which fractions are equivalent to \( \frac{2}{7} \), we can find their decimal values or simplify them.

  1. \( \frac{4}{7} \): This is already in simplest form and clearly not equivalent to \( \frac{2}{7} \).

  2. \( \frac{8}{28} \): Simplifying this yields: \[ \frac{8 \div 4}{28 \div 4} = \frac{2}{7} \] This is equivalent.

  3. \( \frac{2}{14} \): Simplifying this yields: \[ \frac{2 \div 2}{14 \div 2} = \frac{1}{7} \] This is not equivalent.

  4. \( \frac{10}{35} \): Simplifying this yields: \[ \frac{10 \div 5}{35 \div 5} = \frac{2}{7} \] This is equivalent.

The fractions that are equivalent to \( \frac{2}{7} \) are:

  • \( \frac{8}{28} \)
  • \( \frac{10}{35} \)

So the correct answers are \( \frac{8}{28} \) and \( \frac{10}{35} \) (which was miswritten as \( 1035 \) but intended as \( \frac{10}{35} \)).
