Which of the following fractions is equivalent to 1/2?

3/6
2/5
4/7
5/10

The correct answer is: 3/6

The fraction equivalent to 1/2 can be found by understanding that two fractions are equivalent if they represent the same value when simplified. In the case of 1/2, we can look at the fraction 3/6. To determine if 3/6 is equivalent to 1/2, we simplify 3/6 by dividing both the numerator (3) and the denominator (6) by their greatest common divisor, which is 3. When we simplify 3/6: - 3 ÷ 3 = 1 - 6 ÷ 3 = 2 This gives us the simplified fraction 1/2, which confirms that 3/6 is indeed equivalent to 1/2. Looking at the other fractions: 2/5, 4/7, and 5/10 do not simplify to 1/2. For example, 5/10 does simplify to 1/2 as well, but options A (3/6) and D (5/10) both qualify as equivalent fractions to 1/2. The emphasis here is on understanding how fractions can be manipulated to find their equivalence by simplification.
