Sagot :

To determine which fraction is equivalent to [tex]\(\frac{1}{6}\)[/tex], let's compare each given option with [tex]\(\frac{1}{6}\)[/tex].

First, simplify the fractions and compare their values.

1. Option A: [tex]\(\frac{3}{8}\)[/tex]

No simplification is needed here. So, [tex]\(\frac{3}{8}\)[/tex].

2. Option B: [tex]\(\frac{2}{8}\)[/tex]

Simplify [tex]\(\frac{2}{8}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{2}{8} = \frac{2 \div 2}{8 \div 2} = \frac{1}{4} \][/tex]

3. Option C: [tex]\(\frac{3}{24}\)[/tex]

Simplify [tex]\(\frac{3}{24}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{3}{24} = \frac{3 \div 3}{24 \div 3} = \frac{1}{8} \][/tex]

4. Option D: [tex]\(\frac{4}{24}\)[/tex]

Simplify [tex]\(\frac{4}{24}\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{4}{24} = \frac{4 \div 4}{24 \div 4} = \frac{1}{6} \][/tex]

After simplification, we see that only Option D, [tex]\(\frac{4}{24}\)[/tex], is equivalent to [tex]\(\frac{1}{6}\)[/tex].

So, the answer is [tex]\( \boxed{4} \)[/tex].
