Several fractions are equivalent to \( \frac{1}{2} \). To find an equivalent fraction, you can multiply both the numerator and the denominator of \( \frac{1}{2} \) by the same non-zero integer. For example:
-
Multiply by 2: \[ \frac{1 \times 2}{2 \times 2} = \frac{2}{4} \]
-
Multiply by 3: \[ \frac{1 \times 3}{2 \times 3} = \frac{3}{6} \]
-
Multiply by 4: \[ \frac{1 \times 4}{2 \times 4} = \frac{4}{8} \]
So, \( \frac{2}{4} \), \( \frac{3}{6} \), and \( \frac{4}{8} \) are all equivalent to \( \frac{1}{2} \).
