Step by Step Solution
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.
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.
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.
1/2 = 1÷2 = 0.5
The value of 1/2 is equals to 0.5. Hence, this fraction is equivalent to 4/8.
Step 4
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.
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.
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.
Step 6
Only II and III is equivalent to 4/8.
Clearly, the answer is B.
