#8/14" and " 12/21#

Explanation:

To create equivalent fractions from a given fraction.

#• " divide the numerator/ denominator by a common factor"#

#• " multiply the numerator/denominator by the same value"#

4 and 7 have no common factor, other than 1 ,

Hence division does not give an equivalent fraction.

Thus we multiply by any value to produce an equivalent fraction.
