Brett shaded 4/8 of a sheet of notebook paper. Aisha says he shaded 1/2 of the paper . Are the two fractions equivalent ? If so , what is another equivalent fraction ?

Verified Answer :

Yes, the fractions are equivalent. Other fractions are 5/10, 6/12, 7/14,8/16, 9/18, 10/20.

Answer:

We have,

Brett shaded \(\frac{4}{8}\) of the paper.

Aisha says that he shaded \(\frac{1}{2}\) of the paper.

As, \(\frac{4}{8}=\frac{1}{2}\)

So, we see that both the fractions are equivalent.

Also, \(\frac{5}{10}=\frac{1}{2}\)

Thus, the three fractions \(\frac{4}{8}\), \(\frac{5}{10}\) and \(\frac{1}{2}\) are equivalent.
