Explanation:

Models are a great way to find and view equivalent fractions because they show us visual representations of the fractions. In this question, we are tasked with finding the equivalent to . One strategy is to draw a model of  and compare it to the answer choices or we can use multiplication to determine which answer choice is equivalent. 

The different answer choices we have are , and 

When looking at  if we multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number we will find equivalent fractions. For example:

When looking at these answers and using multiplication it can be determined that . We can also look at the two visual models and see that they are equivalent.
