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.
Equivalent fractions are fractions that are equal. So, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent.
Equal fractions or equivalent fractions are fractions which are ultimately the same but look different (they don't have to look different 1/3 is equal to 1/3) so: 2/3 = 6/9 = 10/15 = 2000000/3000000 1/2 = 2/4 = 16/32 4/5 = 16/20 You get the picture
The term fraction means a part of the whole. So one half (1/2) is a fraction. The decimal 0.5 means a half and is also a fraction.
A decimal is one way of representing numbers which may be whole or fractions. So, a mixed number which by definition is a number, can be expressed as a decimal. That explains it all!
It refers to counting in units and tens, multiples of tens (such as hundreds, thousands and so on), and fractions of tens (such as tenths, hundredths and so on).
A conversion calculator converts different metrics into others. Inches to yards, fractions to percentages and so on.

Fractions are part of the whole. If you have a box with many units in it use that as an example. A large box with 10 units in it would be 10/10. As the units get taken out the fractions change; 9/10, 8/10, etc. Explain the fractions as percentages also. Full box is 100% (10/10), then 90% (9/10), and so on. I tried this with a person who was getting their GED and it seemed to work; their teacher had a positive attitude about my help.
The purpose of an average is to represent a group of individual values in simple and concise manner so that the mind can get a quick understanding of general size of individual in the group. Explain.

In theory, infinite, non-recurring decimals can represent irrational number whereas fractions cannot do that. However, any non-recurring decimal number can be expressed for only a finite number of digits and so this theoretical difference cannot be attained in reality.
I guess because fractions represent a PART of the whole number. Let's use a pizza for an example: You have a WHOLE pizza that you want to cut and share with your friends. How do you know how many pieces you will need to cut it into? By counting yourself and your friends and then dividing the pizza into that many pieces. Assume you and five friends are sharing ONE pizza; you would cut the pizza into six pieces so each will eat one-sixth of the pizza. In this way, fractions represent the numbers that help us share.
No, fractions cannot be changed into decimals using Roman numerals. Roman numerals are a numeral system used in ancient Rome, which does not have a way to represent fractions or decimal numbers. Decimal numbers are represented using a base-10 system with digits ranging from 0 to 9.
