Let’s solve each equivalent fraction problem step by step.
We are given fractions with visual pie charts, and we need to fill in the missing denominator or numerator so that both fractions have the same value.

First row:
1.
2/2 = ? / 4
- 2/2 means the whole thing — it equals 1.
- We want a fraction over 4 that also equals 1 → that would be 4/4.
- So:
2/2 = 4/4
2.
4/8 = ? / 2
- Simplify 4/8: divide top and bottom by 4 → 1/2
- So 4/8 = 1/2
- Therefore:
4/8 = 1/2
---
Second row:
3.
3/4 = ? / 8
- To get from 4 to 8 in the denominator, multiply by 2.
- Do the same to the numerator: 3 × 2 = 6
- So:
3/4 = 6/8
4.
2/3 = ? / 9
- To get from 3 to 9, multiply by 3.
- Multiply numerator too: 2 × 3 = 6
- So:
2/3 = 6/9
---
Third row:
5.
4/12 = ? / 6
- Simplify 4/12: divide top and bottom by 4 → 1/3
- Now, what over 6 equals 1/3? → 2/6 (because 2÷2=1, 6÷2=3)
- Or: 12 ÷ 2 = 6, so divide numerator by 2: 4 ÷ 2 = 2
- So:
4/12 = 2/6
6.
1/5 = ? / 10
- To get from 5 to 10, multiply by 2.
- Multiply numerator: 1 × 2 = 2
- So:
1/5 = 2/10

Final Answer:
4
1
6
