Question

Which of the pair shows equivalent rational number:
3/4, 6/8
5/6, 5/12
3/2, 3/4
None of these​

Answer 1

Answer:

3/4,6/8......................

Answer 2

Given,

The following pairs of rational numbers:

3/4, 6/8

5/6, 5/12

3/2, 3/4

To Find,

Which of the pair is equivalent =?

Solution,

We can solve the question as follows:

Considering the first option,

$\frac{3}{4}, \frac{6}{8}$

Since the denominator and numerator of the second rational number can be divided by 2,

$= \frac{3}{4} , \frac{3}{4}$

Hence, the numbers are equivalent.

Considering the second option,

$\frac{5}{6}, \frac{5}{12}$

None of the numbers can be simplified further. Hence, they are NOT equivalent.

Considering the third option,

$\frac{3}{2}, \frac{3}{4}$

None of the numbers can be simplified further. Hence, they are NOT equivalent.

Hence, the first option 3/4, 6/8 are equivalent pairs of rational numbers.
