How do you make an equivalent fraction?

Answer 1

The multiplicative identity is 1. In other words, 1a = a.

To make an equivalent fraction, you multiply the fraction by 1. This prevents its value from being changed. For example, 2/2 = 1, and 3/3 = 1.

So to find a fraction equivalent to 3/4, you might multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, to produce 6/8, or 3 to produce 9/12. Both of these fractions are equivalent to 3/4, because 2/2 =1 and 3/3 = 1.
