A box contains 4 red pencils and 6 black pencils. What fraction of the pencils are red? Write two equivalent fractions.
4 out of the 6 pens are red so the fraction would be 4/6. An equivalent fraction of 4/6 would be 8/12. 4x2 is 8 and 6x2 is 12 and multiplying by the same number for the numerator and denominator you would be creating an equivalent fraction. Hope I helped. (I can help more if needed)
