What is equivalent fractions?

Equivalent fractions represent the same part of the whole.  They are fractions that are the same value represented by different numbers (numerators and denominators).  For example, 2/4 and 3/6 can both be simplified to 1/2 so 1/2, 2/4 and 3/6 are equivalent fractions; they are all the same value.

How do you find equivalent fractions?

If you want to find equivalent fractions to, say, 3/4, you can multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number.  You don't change the value of a fraction if you multiply its top and bottom numbers by the same number because you are just multiplying by 1.

Example:

Find equivalent fractions of 3/4

3/4 * 2/2 = 6/8
3/4 * 3/3 = 9/12
3/4 * 4/4 = 12/16
3/4 * 5/5 = 15/20
3/4 * 6/6 = 18/24

Therefore:

3/4 = 6/8 = 9/12 = 12/16 = 15/20 = 18/24
