equivalent fractions
If two or more fractions are equal, we say they are equivalent fractions. This means that they represent the same value or proportion, even though they may have different numerators and denominators. For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions because they both simplify to the same value.
5/10 is equal to 1/2. Whatever you multiply the numerator by you must multiply the denominator and you will always get same valued fractions
Equivalent fractions are fractions that are equal. So, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent.
The mixed number ( 2 \frac{6}{1} ) can be converted to an improper fraction, which is ( \frac{12}{5} ). Other fractions that equal ( 2 \frac{6}{1} ) include ( \frac{24}{10} ) and ( \frac{36}{15} ), as these fractions can be simplified to the same value. All these fractions represent the same quantity as ( 2 \frac{6}{1} ).
If you are trying to convert 1/2 and 2/5 to fractions with different denominators, multiply the fractions by a fraction that is equal to 1. Go to the following URL to see an example.http://i30.tinypic.com30sbjfo.pngIn this example we see that by multiplying 1/2 by 4/4 (which is equal to 1), we change the fraction's denominator (and numerator) and thus change the numbers without changing the value of the fraction.

Equivalent fractions, e.g. 1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6, etc.

Equivalent fractions are fractions that are equal. So, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent.
non examples of like fractions = fractions that are not equal in value to other fractions. For example: 1/2 and 3/4. 1/2=.5 and 3/4=.75 since .5 does not equal .75, then 1/2 & 3/4 are not "like fractions" (see below for a summary of like fractions). Additional Info.: Like fraction examples: 1/2 & 2/4 (both fractions = the decimal value .5) 1/8 & 3/24 (both fractions = the decimal value .125) A "like fraction" is a fraction that has the same decimal value as another fraction. For example: 1/2 and 2/4 both = the decimal value .5 The easiest way to create a like fraction is to use a fraction that has a decimal value of 1. Simply multiple it times another fraction to create a like fraction. For example: Using 2/2 (which = decimal value 1), you get 2/4 as follows: 2/2 * 1/2 = 2/4 = .5 Note: 2/2 is used to create the "like fraction" 2/4. 2/4 and 1/2 are the "like fractions" because they both = the decimal value .5 You can use any fraction that is = to decimal value 1, for example: 200/200 * 1/2 = 200/400 = .5 200/400 & 1/2 are the "like fractions" that both have a .5 decimal value. You should remember this fact because it is used frequently in algebra and higher math.

Fractions that are the same or have the same amount of pieces like 1/2 is equal to 2/4
Yes, 4 sixths is equal to 2 thirds. When you simplify 4 sixths by dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 2, you get 2 thirds. Therefore, both fractions represent the same value.
Equivalent fractions are true when they show the same value: 2/4 = 1/2 = 4/8 all equal a half of the whole.
