Step-by-step explanation:

Two frations are equivalent when they have the same value when written in lowest terms. The fraction 8/24 is equal to 1/3 when reduced to lowest terms. To find equivalent fractions, just multiply the numerator and denominator of that reduced fraction (1/3) by any interger number, ie, multiply by 2, 3, 10, 30 ...

2/6 is equivalent to 4/12 because 1 x 2 = 2 and 3 x 2 = 6

3/9 is equivalent to 4/12 because 1 x 3 = 3 and 3 x 3 = 9

4/12 is equivalent to 4/12 because 1 x 3 = 4 and 3 x 3 = 12

and so on ...

Equivalent fractions may look different, but when you reduce then to the lowest terms you will get the same value. If any fraction is not reduced to lowest terms, you can get other equivalent fractions just dividing both numerator and denominator by the same number.
