Answer: When adding or subtracting fractions with different denominators it is important to change the denominators into the lowest common denominator by using equivalent fractions.
Answer: Equivalent fractions are used to:
* Simplify fractions. It is sort of inelegant to write the final solution of a problem as 123/246, when you can just as well write it as 1/2.
* Add fractions. If two fractions have different denominators, you need to convert them to equivalent fractions that have the same denominator. Only then can you add.
* Subtract fractions (same as addition).
* Compare fractions, to check which one is larger (same as addition).
