    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given

    Fraction = 2/6

    To find fraction equivalent using number lines, first she needs to locate the original fraction on the number line.

    Using a denominator greater than 6; a fraction she can consider is 4/12

    Using 3/9 as a case study.

    The next step is for her to divide the newly created divisions from step 1 into three equal spaces.

    She continues dividing each of the space until she has 9 equal spaces

    For this number line, there are now nine equal separations. Meaning that the denominator is now 9.

    The middle line between 0 and 3 is the second small tick mark, so the numerator is 3. This means that 3/9 and 1/3 are equivalent fractions.
