Answer 1

To find equivalent fractions for \( \frac{2}{16} \), we can scale the numerator and denominator up or down.

Scale up by 2:

\[ \text{Numerator: } 2 \times 2 = 4 \] \[ \text{Denominator: } 16 \times 2 = 32 \] \[ \text{Equivalent fraction: } \frac{4}{32} \]

Scale up by 3:

\[ \text{Numerator: } 2 \times 3 = 6 \] \[ \text{Denominator: } 16 \times 3 = 48 \] \[ \text{Equivalent fraction: } \frac{6}{48} \]

Scale down by 2:

\[ \text{Numerator: } 2 \div 2 = 1 \] \[ \text{Denominator: } 16 \div 2 = 8 \] \[ \text{Equivalent fraction: } \frac{1}{8} \]

Summary:

1. Scale up by 2: \( \frac{4}{32} \)
2. Scale up by 3: \( \frac{6}{48} \)
3. Scale down by 2: \( \frac{1}{8} \)
