Let’s solve each fraction problem step by step.
We’re looking for equivalent fractions — meaning the value of the fraction stays the same, even though the numbers change. To do this, we multiply or divide both the top (numerator) and bottom (denominator) by the same number.

First row:
1.
1/2 = ?/4
→ Multiply denominator 2 by 2 to get 4 → so multiply numerator 1 by 2 → 1×2 = 2
→ Answer:
2
2.
1/3 = ?/6
→ Multiply denominator 3 by 2 to get 6 → multiply numerator 1 by 2 → 1×2 = 2
→ Answer:
2
3.
2/6 = ?/12
→ Multiply denominator 6 by 2 to get 12 → multiply numerator 2 by 2 → 2×2 = 4
→ Answer:
4
