Best Answer

Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or divide both by any common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction. The best integer to select is 10, so no multiplication is required, simply the addition of a 0.

Thus 4/9 = 40/90 = 400/900 and so on.

What is a strategy for finding equivalent fractions?

cross multipling


What do you do when you are finding an equivalent fraction?

Pick any non-zero integer and multiply both the nuerator and denominator of the original fraction to get an equivalent fraction. You can also pick any common factor.


How do you do quotient with fractions?

if you can divide whole numbers, turn the fraction into a whole number by finding its equivalent and replacing the fraction with that equivalent. Then divide the new number which should be whole and you have your answer.


What do you call when multiplying the numerator and denominator of a ratio by the same factor?

It is finding an equivalent fraction.


When completeing the equivalent fraction dose that mean finding a number goes into all the numbers evenly?

No, it does not. It is finding a number that they all go into evenly.


What is a fully reduced fractions?

A fully reduced fraction is the one which is reduced to the lowest terms by finding an equivalent fraction in which the numerator and denominator are as small as possible.


What is 30 100 as a equivalent fraction?

To express 30 out of 100 as an equivalent fraction, we need to simplify it by finding the greatest common factor (GCF) of 30 and 100, which is 10. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 10, we get 30 รท 10 = 3 and 100 รท 10 = 10. Therefore, 30/100 is equivalent to 3/10.


What are some useful ways of finding equivalent fractions and equivalent ratios?

Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or divide both by any common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction or equivalent ratio.


How can equivalent fractions help when adding mixed numbers?

It can help by when finding the LCD (Least Common Denominator) you find the least number they have in common then that number is your equivalent fraction.


What is be the process to finding out what 7 over 11 would be as a decimal?

Remember that a fraction means division. Divide 7 by 11 and you have the equivalent decimal.


How do you solve a fraction finding the answer of 112?

112 is an integer, not a fraction.


What is the difference between a simplified fraction and an equivalent fraction?

A simplified fraction would be like 1/2. You can't reduce it any more. The only common factor between numerator and denominator is the number one (1). This is one use for finding the Greatest Common Factor between two numbers. Once you find the GCF, just divide the Numerator by GCF, and divide the Denominator by GCF and you have an equivalent fraction which has been reduced to the simplest form.An equivalent fraction is like 3/4 and 6/8. It's the same amount, therefore equal, which is where the name equivalent comes in.An equivalent fraction is a different representation of the simplest form. The numerator and the denominator of the equivalent fraction are multiples of the numerator and the denominator of the simplest form.
