Question

which fraction is equivalent to \\(\frac{6}{8}\\)?\\(\frac{6}{7}\\)\\(\frac{18}{20}\\)\\(\frac{14}{17}\\)\\(\frac{12}{16}\\)submit

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify the original fraction

$\frac{6}{8} = \frac{6\div2}{8\div2} = \frac{3}{4}$

Step2: Simplify each option

• $\frac{6}{7}$: Already in simplest form, not equal to $\frac{3}{4}$
• $\frac{18}{20} = \frac{18\div2}{20\div2} = \frac{9}{10}$, not equal to $\frac{3}{4}$
• $\frac{14}{17}$: Already in simplest form, not equal to $\frac{3}{4}$
• $\frac{12}{16} = \frac{12\div4}{16\div4} = \frac{3}{4}$, equal to the simplified original fraction

Answer:

$\frac{12}{16}$
