Write two equivalent fractions 8 = ?\/2 = ?\/1 8 = ?\/?2 = ?\/?1 (Type whole<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Correct Answer and Explanation is:<\/mark><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Answer:<\/strong>
8 = 16\/2<\/strong> = 8\/1<\/strong>
8 = 24\/3<\/strong> = 40\/5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Explanation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Fractions are a way to represent parts of a whole or to show division. When we say a number like 8 equals a fraction such as 16\/2 or 8\/1, we\u2019re using equivalent forms of the same number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To find equivalent fractions for 8<\/strong>, we simply multiply or divide both the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) of a fraction by the same nonzero number. This is because multiplying or dividing both parts of a fraction by the same number does not<\/strong> change its value\u2014it only changes its appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s look at the first set:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • 8 = 16\/2<\/strong>
    To get this, take the whole number 8 and multiply the denominator 2 by 8:
    8 \u00d7 2 = 16 \u2192 so 16 \u00f7 2 = 8<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • 8 = 8\/1<\/strong>
    Any whole number can be written as itself over 1. This is because dividing any number by 1 doesn\u2019t change its value.
    8 \u00f7 1 = 8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Now for the second set of equivalent fractions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • 8 = 24\/3<\/strong>
      Divide 24 by 3:
      24 \u00f7 3 = 8, so 24\/3 is another way to write 8<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • 8 = 40\/5<\/strong>
      Divide 40 by 5:
      40 \u00f7 5 = 8, so this is also equal to 8<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      You can generate infinite equivalent fractions<\/strong> for 8 by multiplying 8 by any whole number and placing the product as the numerator, with the same multiplier as the denominator. For example, 8 = (8\u00d76)\/(1\u00d76) = 48\/6<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      This understanding of equivalent fractions is important in simplifying expressions, solving equations, and comparing values in algebra and arithmetic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
