No because the numerator and the denominator must be multiplied or divided by the same number for a given equivalent fraction
Because doing so is equivalent to multiplying or dividing by x/x, which can be cancelled down to 1.
No, multiplying does. 2/4 does not equal 4/6 2/4 equals 4/8
Equal ratio
The distributive property is not related to finding equivalent fractions. The distributive property is a rule that states a(b + c) is equal to ab + ac. It is used to simplify expressions and perform operations like multiplication or addition. To find an equivalent fraction, you would need to multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number.
Because division by zero is not defined and if the denominator were zero, we would be dividing by zero.
Seven ninths is equivalent to 0.77777777... when expressed as a decimal. In fraction form, it can also be written as 77/99 in its simplest form. This fraction represents a ratio of 77 equal parts out of a total of 99 equal parts.
Well, a nonzero fraction is simply a fraction that is not equal to zero. It's a beautiful way of expressing a part of a whole, where the numerator is any number other than zero, and the denominator is any number other than zero as well. Just like every tree in a forest is unique and special, every nonzero fraction has its own beauty and value.

No, multiplying does. 2/4 does not equal 4/6 2/4 equals 4/8
because of mathematical equivalence: it doesn't change the result

Because the ratio between the two numbers is not changed when you multiply both by the same non-zero number.
Because division by zero is not defined and if the denominator were zero, we would be dividing by zero.
Natural numbers are a special kind of Rational numbers. Rational numbers can be expressed as a fraction. (Positive) fractions with the same (nonzero) numerator and denominator are natural numbers, for example 9/9 = 1.
Equivalent fractions for 7/10 include 14/20, 21/30, 28/40, and so on. To find equivalent fractions, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same nonzero number. In this case, multiplying 7 and 10 by 2 gives you the equivalent fraction 14/20.
This kind of number is called "irrational", meaning (to a mathematician!) "not a ratio."
