well, it depends on what you mean by equivalent answers. there are many. common denominators? even numbers? the equal sign? this information has to be stated before you do anything.
numbers that are equal to eachother
Equivalent ratios are ratios that represent different numbers but the relationship between the numbers is same.

they are almost all equivalent - whole numbers also have the number 0, which natural numbers (counting numbers) do not.

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.
It is not clear whether you have a fraction with high numbers and want to find a simple equivalent fraction or you have a simple fraction but want it with high numbers. I have assumed the first. The quick way is to find the highest common factor (HCF) of the numerator and denominator and divided both by that number. If finding the HCF looks difficult, find ANY factor and divide both by that number. Repeat with the new fraction until the HCF is 1. At each stage the fraction will have smaller numbers and so the task becomes easier.

Equivalent numbers.
Find theLeast Common Denominator (LCD)Find the equivalent fractions.Add or subtract the fractions and add or subtract the whole numbers.Write your answer in lowest terms.
find a number that both sides divide by, in this case 5, and divide both numbers by it, in this case to make 5:6
No, they are not equivalent sets.
You can either convert fractions to decimals and compare the decimal numbers; find equivalent fractions with the same denominator and then compare numerators or find equivalent fractions with the same numerator and then compare denominators.
