To find equivalent fractions with a common denominator, you need to find the least common denominator (LCD) for the given fractions. In this case, the denominators are 7 and 2.
To find the LCD, you can find the least common multiple (LCM) of the denominators. In this case, the LCM of 7 and 2 is 14.
To convert the fraction 2/7 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 14, you need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same value. Multiply the numerator (2) by 2, and the denominator (7) by 2 to get 4/14.
To convert the fraction 1/2 to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 14, you also need to multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same value. Multiply the numerator (1) by 7, and the denominator (2) by 7 to get 7/14.
So, the equivalent fractions for 2/7 and 1/2 with a common denominator of 14 are 4/14 and 7/14, respectively.
