Question
Name an equivalent fraction to 
.
Hint:
Let’s reduce all the given options to their simplest form. If the resultant fraction matches with ½, we’ll get our required result.
The correct answer is:
Equivalent fraction of is (Multiply with 3)
a) First, let’s divide both numerator and denominator by 3. (Since both are being divide by the same number, the value of the fraction remains same. ) We get ½.
b) The hcf of 1 and 3 is 1. Hence, it’s in its simplest form.
c) Hcf of 1 and 4 is 1.
d) Hcf of 2 and 3 is 1.
Hence our required answer is option a, 3/6.
An equivalent fraction means that each of the fractions might have different numerators and denominators but have the same exact value when reduced to their simplest form.
For example, 5/15 and 2/6 have then same value, 1/3 when reduced to their simplest form.
Simplest form means that the highest common factor of the denominator and numerator is 1.
Common factor is that number by which 2 or more numbers can be divided without leaving a remainder
