To determine which pair of fractions is equivalent to 29, we can express 29 as a fraction. The simplest way is to write it as \( \frac{29}{1} \).

Now, we can check each set of fractions to see if they can be simplified to the same form.

  1. \( \frac{6}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{45} \):

    • Simplifying \( \frac{6}{27} \): \( \frac{6 \div 3}{27 \div 3} = \frac{2}{9} \)
    • Simplifying \( \frac{12}{45} \): \( \frac{12 \div 3}{45 \div 3} = \frac{4}{15} \)
    • These fractions do not match.
  2. \( \frac{6}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{54} \):

    • We have seen that \( \frac{6}{27} = \frac{2}{9} \).
    • Simplifying \( \frac{12}{54} \): \( \frac{12 \div 6}{54 \div 6} = \frac{2}{9} \)
    • These fractions are equivalent.
  3. \( \frac{5}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{54} \):

    • Simplifying \( \frac{12}{54} = \frac{2}{9} \) as calculated already.
    • \( \frac{5}{27} \) is already in simplest form and does not equal \( \frac{2}{9} \).
    • These fractions are not equivalent.
  4. \( \frac{20}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{19} \):

    • \( \frac{20}{27} \) is in simplest form.
    • \( \frac{12}{19} \) is also in simplest form and does not equal \( \frac{20}{27} \).
    • These fractions are not equivalent.

The only pair of fractions that are equivalent to each other are \( \frac{6}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{54} \). Therefore, the correct answer is:

\( \frac{6}{27} \) and \( \frac{12}{54} \).
