Which fraction is equivalent to 3/6

1 answer

The fraction \( \frac{3}{6} \) can be simplified by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 3.

\[ \frac{3 \div 3}{6 \div 3} = \frac{1}{2} \]

Thus, \( \frac{1}{2} \) is an equivalent fraction to \( \frac{3}{6} \).

Other equivalent fractions can also be found by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number. For example:

  • Multiplying by 2: \( \frac{3 \times 2}{6 \times 2} = \frac{6}{12} \)
  • Multiplying by 3: \( \frac{3 \times 3}{6 \times 3} = \frac{9}{18} \)

So, some equivalent fractions to \( \frac{3}{6} \) include \( \frac{1}{2} \), \( \frac{6}{12} \), and \( \frac{9}{18} \).
