Oh, dude, equivalent fractions are like the cool kids of the math world. So, 1/4 is the same as 2/8, 3/12, 4/16, and so on. It's like saying, "Hey, different names, same math party!"
One fourth (1/4): anything where the denominator (bottom number) is four times the numerator (top number): 2/8, 4/16, 25/100, 8/32, etc.
0.50=(1/2) equivalent fractions: 2/4 3/6 4/8
0.25 = 1/4
In order to add and subtract fractions with unlike denominators, it is necessary to convert them to equivalent fractions with a common denominator. Example: 1/4 + 1/6 The LCM of 4 and 6 is 12. 1/4 = 3/12 1/6 = 2/12
2/8, 4/16,...To get the equivalent fractions of 3/12:1. Reduce the given fraction to its lowest term so as to get equivalent fractions of lesser value.3/12 = 1/42. Multiply 1/4 by 2/2, 3/3, 4/4, 5/5,...1/4 * 2/2 = 2/81/4 * 3/3 = 3/12 (this is the given fraction)1/4 * 4/4 = 4/16Equivalent fractions of 3/12 = 2/8, 4/16,...
Identifying Equivalent FractionsEquivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value or represent the same part of an object. If a pie is cut into two pieces, each piece is also one-half of the pie. If a pie is cut into 4 pieces, then two pieces represent the same amount of pie that 1/2 did. We say that 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4.Fractions are determined to be equivalent by multiplying the numerator and denominator of one fraction by the same number. This number should be such that the numerators will be equal after the multiplication. For example if we compare 1/2 and 2/4, we would multiply 1/2 by 2/2 which would result in 2/4 so they are equivalent.To compare 1/2 and 3/7 we would multiply 1/2 by 3/3 to produce 3/6. Since 3/6 is not the same as 3/7, the fractions are not equivalent.Fractions equivalent to 1/2 are 2/4, 3/6, 4/8, 5/10, 6/12 ...Fractions equivalent to 1/3 are 2/6, 3/9, 4/12, 5/15, ...Fractions equivalent to 1/4 are 2/8, 3/12, 4/16, 5/20, ...Fractions equivalent to 1/5 are 2/10, 3/15, 4/20, 5/25, ...Fractions equivalent to 2/5 are 4/10, 6/15, 8/20, 10/25, ...
