This is converting fractions into equivalent fractions, which is achieved by multiplying (or dividing) the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) by the same number.
eg 2/6 → (2×2)/(6×2) = 4/12
eg 2/6 → (2×3)/(6×3) = 6/18
eg 2/6 → (2÷2)/(6÷2) = 1/3
Thus 2/6, 4/12, 6/18, 1/3 all represent the same value.

What are like and unlike fractions?
Like fractions are the fractions which have the same denominator and unlike fractions are the fractions which do not have the same denominator.
How is adding like fractions and adding unlike fractions the same?
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.
Fractions can be added and subtracted only if they're fractions?
We can only add or subtract fractions if they have the same denominators
What are the steps to adding mixed fractions?
1. 2 3/5+ 3 4/5 Rewrite the mixed numbers as fractions; = 13/5 + 19/5 Write the sum of the numerators over the common denominator; = (13 + 19)/5 = 32/5 Rewrite the fraction as a mixed number; = 6 2/5 2. -2 1/5 + (- 4 5/8) Rewrite the mixed numbers as fractions; = -11/5 + (-37/8) Multiply by 8/8 the first fraction, and by 5/5 the second fraction in order to have the same denominator (because LCD is 40); = -88/40 + (-185/40) Write the sum of the numerators over the common denominator; = -(88 + 185)/40 = -273/40 Rewrite the fraction as a mixed number; = -6 33/40
Define equivalent fractions?
Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value as another fraction.
How do you fine equivalent fractions?
The best way to think about equivalent fractions is that they are fractions that have the same overall value. Equivalent fractions represent the same part of a whole. For example, if we cut a pie exactly down the middle, into two equally sized pieces, one piece is the same as one half of the pie. And if another pie (the same size) is cut into 4 equal pieces, then two pieces of that pie represent the same amount of pie that 1/2 did. So we can say that 1/2 is equivalent (or equal) to 2/4.
How do you rewrite two fractions as like fractions with the same denominator?
1/2=4/8=1/2
Two fractions that represent the same number?

What is the best graph to represent fractions?
the best graph to use to represent fractions is a pie graph, that is if all the fractions denominators are the same...
What are two fractions that represent the same number called?
They are equivalent fractions
What are fractions that represent the same part to a whole relationship?
equivalent fractions
Will equivalent fractions represent the same value?
Yes! If your fractions are equivalent.
Two fractions that represent the same point on the number line?
equivalent fractions
Fractions that represent the same portion of a whole is called?
Equivalent fractions represents the same portion of a whole and are the same fraction.
What are equvalent fractions?
Fractions that are the same or have the same amount of pieces like 1/2 is equal to 2/4
What is the fractions have the same size or haven the same value?
Fractions that have the same size or the same value are called equivalent fractions. They represent the same amount or quantity, even though they may look different. For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions because they both represent half of a whole.
How can division be used to represent fractions?
Fractions are division. 3/4 is the same as 3÷4
