Equivalent fractions are the fractions that have different numerators and denominators but are equal to the same value. For example, 2/4 and 3/6 are equivalent fractions, because they both are equal to the ½. A fraction is a part of a whole. Equivalent fractions represent the same portion of the whole.
The equivalent fraction is a fraction that represents the same value as the original fraction but has different numbers in the numerator and denominator.
To find the equivalent fraction, you need to multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator of the original fraction by the same number.
For example, let's say we have the fraction 1/2. To find an equivalent fraction, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2: (1/2) * (2/2) = 2/4. So, the equivalent fraction of 1/2 is 2/4.
Another example, let's say we have the fraction 3/4. To find an equivalent fraction, we can multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2: (3/4) * (2/2) = 6/8. So, the equivalent fraction of 3/4 is 6/8.
You can also simplify equivalent fractions by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). For example, let's say we have the fraction 4/8. The GCF of 4 and 8 is 4. By dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4, we get 1/2. So, the equivalent fraction of 4/8 is 1/2.
In summary, an equivalent fraction has the same value as the original fraction but may have different numbers in the numerator and denominator. You can find equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number, or by simplifying the fraction using the GCF.
