What is a fraction that is equivalent to `3/8`?

Answer 1

A fraction that is equivalent to `3/8` is `6/16`.

Explanation:

To determine a fraction that is equivalent to `3/8`, multiply by a fraction equivalent to `1`

A fraction equivalent to `1` is a fraction such as `2/2` and `3/3`. Multiplying by these is the same as multiplying by `1`, so the ratio does not change.

One example is to multiply `3/8` by `color(red)(2/2)`.

`3/8xxcolor(red)(2/2)=6/16`

`3/8` and `6/16` have the same ratio, `3:8`.

If you divide each numerator by each denominator, the result will also be the same.

`3-:8=0.375`

`6-:16=0.375`

You can do this with any equivalent fraction, even `100/100` and higher!

Other equivalent fractions to `3/8` are:

`9/24," "12/32," "24/64," "60/160," "63/168`
