Answer 1

To find three fractions equivalent to \( \frac{6}{16} \), we can scale the numerator and denominator up for the first two fractions and scale them down for the third.

1. Scale up by 2:
   \[ \frac{6 \times 2}{16 \times 2} = \frac{12}{32} \]
   Equivalent fraction: \( \frac{12}{32} \)

2. Scale up by 3:
   \[ \frac{6 \times 3}{16 \times 3} = \frac{18}{48} \]
   Equivalent fraction: \( \frac{18}{48} \)

3. Scale down by 2:
   \[ \frac{6 \div 2}{16 \div 2} = \frac{3}{8} \]
   Equivalent fraction: \( \frac{3}{8} \)

So, the three equivalent fractions are:

1. \( \frac{12}{32} \)
2. \( \frac{18}{48} \)
3. \( \frac{3}{8} \)
