Like Fractions

Like fractions are fractions that have the same denominator. In other words, the bottom numbers of the fractions are the same. To determine which of the given fractions is a like fraction, we need to compare the denominators.

Comparing the Denominators

Let's compare the denominators of the given fractions:

(a) 3/2 - The denominator is 2.
(b) 5/3 - The denominator is 3.
(c) 4/6 - The denominator is 6.
(d) 1/4 - The denominator is 4.

Identifying the Like Fraction

To find the like fraction, we need to identify fractions with the same denominator. From the given fractions, the only pair with the same denominator is (c) 4/6.

Explanation

The given fractions are:
(a) 3/2
(b) 5/3
(c) 4/6
(d) 1/4

To determine the like fraction, we compare the denominators. The denominator is the bottom number of a fraction, which represents the total number of equal parts into which a whole is divided.

- Fraction (a) has a denominator of 2.
- Fraction (b) has a denominator of 3.
- Fraction (c) has a denominator of 6.
- Fraction (d) has a denominator of 4.

The like fraction is the fraction that has the same denominator as another fraction. In this case, the only pair of fractions with the same denominator is (c) 4/6.

Therefore, the answer is option (c) 4/6 is a like fraction because it shares the same denominator of 6.
