To find fractions equivalent to \( \frac{1}{4} \), you can multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero integer. Here are three examples:
-
Multiply by 2: \[ \frac{1 \times 2}{4 \times 2} = \frac{2}{8} \]
-
Multiply by 3: \[ \frac{1 \times 3}{4 \times 3} = \frac{3}{12} \]
-
Multiply by 5: \[ \frac{1 \times 5}{4 \times 5} = \frac{5}{20} \]
So, three fractions equivalent to \( \frac{1}{4} \) are \( \frac{2}{8} \), \( \frac{3}{12} \), and \( \frac{5}{20} \).
