key idea\
a fraction is equivalent to a unit fraction if the numerator is a

Explanation:

Step1: Simplify each fraction

• $\frac{8}{14} = \frac{8\div2}{14\div2} = \frac{4}{7}$
• $\frac{2}{12} = \frac{2\div2}{12\div2} = \frac{1}{6}$
• $\frac{4}{10} = \frac{4\div2}{10\div2} = \frac{2}{5}$
• $\frac{9}{16}$ (cannot be simplified further)

Step2: Identify unit fraction equivalent

A unit fraction has a numerator of 1. Only $\frac{2}{12}$ simplifies to a unit fraction $\frac{1}{6}$.

Answer:

$\frac{2}{12}$
