Question

Which number would you multiply to find an equivalent fraction for 1/4

Answer 1

Answer: You can multiply the numerator and the denominator by 2.

Explanation:

Equivalent fractions are those fractions that represent the same number.

To find an equivalent fraction of a determined fraction, you need to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Knowing the fraction
`(1)/(4)`, where the numerator is 1 and the denominator is 4, you can multiply each one (the numerator and the denominator) by 2 to obtain an equivalent fraction.

Then:

`(1*2)/(4*2)=(2)/(8)`
