Which choices are equivalent to the fraction below? Check all that apply.

[tex]\frac{24}{30}[/tex]

A. [tex]\frac{14}{20}[/tex]
B. [tex]\frac{7}{10}[/tex]
C. [tex]\frac{3}{5}[/tex]
D. [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
E. [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex]
F. [tex]\frac{8}{10}[/tex]

Answer :

We begin by simplifying the target fraction:

[tex]$$
\frac{24}{30} = \frac{24 \div 6}{30 \div 6} = \frac{4}{5}.
$$[/tex]

Now, we compare each option to [tex]$\frac{4}{5}$[/tex]:

1. For option A,

[tex]$$
\frac{14}{20} = \frac{14 \div 2}{20 \div 2} = \frac{7}{10},
$$[/tex]

which is not equal to [tex]$\frac{4}{5}$[/tex].

2. For option B,

[tex]$$
\frac{7}{10},
$$[/tex]

which, as seen above, is not equal to [tex]$\frac{4}{5}$[/tex].

3. For option C,

[tex]$$
\frac{3}{5},
$$[/tex]

is different from [tex]$\frac{4}{5}$[/tex].

4. For option D,

[tex]$$
\frac{3}{4},
$$[/tex]

is also different from [tex]$\frac{4}{5}$[/tex].

5. For option E,

[tex]$$
\frac{4}{5},
$$[/tex]

which is the same as the simplified target fraction.

6. For option F,

[tex]$$
\frac{8}{10} = \frac{8 \div 2}{10 \div 2} = \frac{4}{5},
$$[/tex]

which matches the target fraction.

Thus, the fractions equivalent to [tex]$\frac{24}{30}$[/tex] are in options E and F.
