The easiest way for me to determine if one fraction is equivalent to another is to divide the top number by the bottom number on both fractions. If you get the same results with both fractions, then they are equivalent.

For example:

Are 3/6 and 7/14 equivalent?

If you divide 6 into 3, you will get .50, or 1/2

If you divide 14 into 7, you will get .50, or 1/2

So both of these fractions are equivalent.

Another example:

Are 5/8 and 2/3 equivalent?

5/8 and 3/7

If you divide 8 into 5, you will get .625, or 625/1000

If you divide 3 into 2, you will get .66, or 66/100

So these two are not equivalent.

Divide the denominator into the numerator. If the answers are the same decimal, the fractions are equivalent.


How can you tell from the fraction array of fractions are equivalent?

You can determine if fractions are equivalent by simplifying them to their lowest terms or by comparing their cross products. If two fractions simplify to the same value or if the cross products (the product of the numerator of one fraction and the denominator of the other) are equal, then the fractions are equivalent. For example, for fractions a/b and c/d, they are equivalent if a * d = b * c.
