How do you get the equivalent fraction of a fraction?

Answer 1

Equivalent Fractionshave the same value, even though they may look different.

These fractions are really the same:

12=24=48

Why are they the same?Because when you multiply or divideboththe top and bottom by the same number, the fraction keeps it's value.

The rule to remember is:

"Change the bottom using multiply or divide,
And the same to the top must be applied"

So, here is why those fractions are really the same:

× 2× 2

1=2=4248

× 2× 2And visually it looks like this:

1/2

2/4

4/8
