Let C(q) be the Ramanujan’s cubic continued fraction and U(q) be the continued fraction of order 12. We use the affine models on the modular curve \(X_0(6n)\) over \(\mathbb {Q}\) involving \(C^3(q)\) and the formulas for \(C^3(q)\) and \(C^3(q^2)\) in terms of \(U(-q)\) to establish the existence of the modular equations between \(U(-q)\) and \(C(q^n)\) and between \(U(-q)\) and \(U(-q^{2n})\) for any positive integer n, extending the results of Srivatsa Kumar, Vidya and Mahadeva Naika et. al. We also explicitly give the modular equations between \(U(-q)\) and \(C(q^n)\) for certain values of \(n\le 14\) and between \(U(-q)\) and \(U(-q^{2n})\) for \(n\le 3\) . We apply the methods of Lee and Park and some properties of \(\eta \) -quotients to present our results.
