How do you find fractions with the same denominator that are equivalent to the given fractions?

By finding the least common denominator. It's the same process as the least common multiple. Example: 1/2 and 1/3
The LCM of 2 and 3 is 6, so 1/2 = 3/6 and 1/3 = 2/6
To find equivalent fractions, multiply both the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

Why are equivalent fractions important when adding and subtracting fractions?
Because to add or subtract two fractions you first have to find equivalent fractions for both which have the same denominator.
How do you find fractions equivalent to each other?
To find out if two fractions are equivalent, either reduce them both to their simplest forms (which will be the same number if they're equivalent) or convert them to decimals (which will be the same number if they're equivalent). To make an equivalent fraction of a given fraction, multiply the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by the same counting number.
How do you add or subtract dissimilar fractions?
You first convert them to similar fractions, i.e., to fractions that have the same denominator.* Step one: find a common denominator.* Step two: convert both fractions to equivalent fractions that have that denominator.
How do you compare fractions?
You can either convert fractions to decimals and compare the decimal numbers; find equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare numerators or find equivalent fractions with the same numerator and then compare denominators.
How do you compare 3 or more fractions?
Find the equivalent fractions with the same denominator (the least common multiple) and then compare the numerators.
Adding unlike fractions?
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator. Then add and simplify.
How do you write fractions as equivalent fractions with the LCD?
(1) find the LCD. (2) find the factor that each original denominator needs to be multiplied by to get the LCD. (3) multiply both the numerator and the denominator by that factor.
How do you find equivalent fractions with a common denominator and order from least to greatest?
to make your denominator common you have to times a number that equals the same
How do you find equivalent fractions with a common denominator?
You dont really, well at least in my years of knowledge
How do you find equivalent rational number s?
Given a rational number, express it in the form of a ratio. You can then calculate equivalent rational fractions if you multiply both, its numerator and denominator, by any non-zero integer.
When adding or subtracting two fractions with denominators that are not equal what is the first step you take?
The first step to take is find the lowest common denominator of the fractions which can be done by finding the lowest common multiple of the numbers.
