What fraction is equivalent to 3/4?

• A. 5/8
• B. 1/2
• C. 6/8
• D. 1/4

Answer: (C)

To find a fraction equivalent to 3/4, we need to look for a fraction that simplifies to the same value when both the numerator and denominator are multiplied or divided by the same number.

When we compare 3/4 to 6/8, we can see that both fractions can be derived from the same ratio. If we multiply both the numerator (3) and the denominator (4) of 3/4 by 2, we get:

3 × 2 = 6 (numerator)

4 × 2 = 8 (denominator)

This results in the fraction 6/8, which maintains the same value as 3/4. When we compare other options, they do not yield the correct equivalency; for example, 5/8 and 1/2 are both less than 3/4, and 1/4 does not represent a fraction that is close in value. Thus, 6/8 is the fraction that is correctly equivalent to 3/4.
