Answer:

The two fractions are equivalent.

$\text{Another equivalent fraction is }(2)/(4)$

Explanation:

$\text{Given brett shaded }(4)/(8) \text{of a sheet of notebook paper. Aisha says he shaded }(1)/(2)\text{of the paper}$

We have to tell are two fractions equivalent.

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

∴
$(4)/(8)\thinspace and\thinspace (1)/(2)\text{both are equivalent fractions}$

Another equivalent fraction is

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