Which fraction is equivalent to [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]?

A. [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
B. [tex]\frac{2}{6}[/tex]
C. [tex]\frac{4}{6}[/tex]



Answer :

To determine which fraction is equivalent to [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex], we need to find a fraction that, when simplified, results in [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex]. Here are the steps to verify:

1. Check [tex]\(\frac{3}{5}\)[/tex]:
- Simplify [tex]\(\frac{3}{5}\)[/tex]: This is already in its simplest form.
- Compare with [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex]: Clearly, [tex]\(\frac{3}{5}\)[/tex] does not simplify to [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex].

2. Check [tex]\(\frac{2}{6}\)[/tex]:
- Simplify [tex]\(\frac{2}{6}\)[/tex]: Divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
[tex]\[ \frac{2 \div 2}{6 \div 2} = \frac{1}{3} \][/tex]
- Compare with [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex]: [tex]\(\frac{1}{3}\)[/tex] is not equal to [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex].

3. Check [tex]\(\frac{4}{6}\)[/tex]:
- Simplify [tex]\(\frac{4}{6}\)[/tex]: Divide the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2.
[tex]\[ \frac{4 \div 2}{6 \div 2} = \frac{2}{3} \][/tex]
- Compare with [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex]: [tex]\(\frac{4}{6}\)[/tex] simplifies directly to [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex].

Thus, the fraction [tex]\(\frac{4}{6}\)[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]\(\frac{2}{3}\)[/tex].

So the correct choice is:

[tex]\[ \boxed{\frac{4}{6}} \][/tex]
