Which fraction is equivalent to 1/4? Choices: (A)3/9 (B)1/5 (C)2/8 (D)2/7

Simplify (A) 3/9: Step 1: Simplify each choice to see if it equals 1/4. - Simplify (A) 3/9: 3 ÷ 3 = 1 and 9 ÷ 3 = 3, so 3/9 simplifies to 1/3. Simplify (B) 1/5: Step 2: Simplify (B) 1/5: 1/5 is already in its simplest form. Simplify (C) 2/8: Step 3: Simplify (C) 2/8: 2 ÷ 2 = 1 and 8 ÷ 2 = 4, so 2/8 simplifies to 1/4. Simplify (D) 2/7: Step 4: Simplify (D) 2/7: 2/7 is already in its simplest form.

Q. Which fraction is equivalent to

\frac{1}{4}

\newline

Choices:

\newline

(A)

\frac{3}{9}

\newline

(B)

\frac{1}{5}

\newline

(C)

\frac{2}{8}

\newline

(D)

\frac{2}{7}

Simplify (A) $\frac{3}{9}$ : Step $1$ : Simplify each choice to see if it equals $\frac{1}{4}$ . $\newline$ - Simplify (A) $\frac{3}{9}$ : $\newline$ $3 \div 3 = 1$ and $9 \div 3 = 3$ , so $\frac{3}{9}$ simplifies to $\frac{1}{3}$ . $\newline$
Simplify $(B) \frac{1}{5}:$ Step $2$ : Simplify $(B) \frac{1}{5}:$ $\newline$ $\frac{1}{5}$ is already in its simplest form. $\newline$
Simplify (C) $\frac{2}{8}$ : Step $3$ : Simplify (C) $\frac{2}{8}$ : $2 \div 2 = 1$ and $8 \div 2 = 4$ , so $\frac{2}{8}$ simplifies to $\frac{1}{4}$ .
Simplify $(D) \frac{2}{7}:$ Step $4$ : Simplify $(D) \frac{2}{7}:$ $\newline$ $\frac{2}{7}$ is already in its simplest form. $\newline$
