    Step 1

    We know that equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value. Hence, we need to calculate the value of 4/8 as a start.

    4/8 = 4÷8 = 0.5

    From here, only fractions that are equivalent to 4/8 will have the value of 0.5.

    Step 2

    Now, Let's calculate value of 1/5.

    1/5 = 1÷5 = 0.2

    Since the value of 1/5 is not equals to 0.5, this fraction is not equivalent to 4/8.

    Step 3

    Next, as for 1/2,

    1/2 = 1÷2 = 0.5

    The value of 1/2 is equals to 0.5. Hence, this fraction is equivalent to 4/8.

    Next, as for 12/24,

    12/24 = 12÷24 = 0.5

    The value of 12/24 is equals to 0.5. Hence, this fraction is equivalent to 4/8.

    Step 5

    Finally, let's find out the value of 6/10.

    6/10 = 6÷10 = 0.6

    Since the value of 6/10 is not equals to 0.5, this fraction is not equivalent to 4/8.
