How Do you find Equivalent fractions and show a example?

Suppose you have a fraction such as 3/7.To find an equivalent fraction, think of any non-zero integer. How about 6?Multiply the top and the bottom of your original fraction by this number to get an equivalent fraction. So3/7 = (3*6)/(7*6) = 18/42Suppose you have a fraction such as 3/7.To find an equivalent fraction, think of any non-zero integer.
