Rick lets his best friend borrow of his video game collection. This means out of every 6 video games that Rick has, he gives away 2.
Equivalent fractions have the same value but are expressed in different forms. To find two equivalent fractions, we can multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero number.
To get one equivalent fraction, let's multiply the numerator and denominator by 2:
2/6 x 2/2 = 4/12
Therefore, another equivalent fraction is 4/12.
To find a second equivalent fraction, let's multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:
2/6 x 3/3 = 6/18
Therefore, a second equivalent fraction is 6/18.
Both 4/12 and 6/18 are equivalent fractions to the fraction of Rick's video game collection that he lets his best friend borrow.
