To determine which pair of fractions are equivalent to \( \frac{2}{9} \), we can simplify or compare each option given:
-
Option 1: \( \frac{5}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{54} \)
- \( \frac{12}{54} \) simplifies to \( \frac{2}{9} \) because both numerator and denominator can be divided by 6.
- \( \frac{5}{27} \) does not simplify to \( \frac{2}{9} \).
- Conclusion: Not equivalent.
-
Option 2: \( \frac{20}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{19} \)
- Both fractions do not simplify to \( \frac{2}{9} \).
- Conclusion: Not equivalent.
-
Option 3: \( \frac{6}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{54} \)
- \( \frac{6}{27} \) simplifies to \( \frac{2}{9} \) (both can be divided by 3).
- \( \frac{12}{54} \) also simplifies to \( \frac{2}{9} \).
- Conclusion: Both are equivalent.
-
Option 4: \( \frac{6}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{45} \)
- \( \frac{6}{27} \) simplifies to \( \frac{2}{9} \).
- \( \frac{12}{45} \) simplifies to \( \frac{4}{15} \) (both can be divided by 3).
- Conclusion: Not equivalent.
From the analysis, the equivalent pair of fractions to \( \frac{2}{9} \) is:
Option 3: \( \frac{6}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{54} \).
