Yes they can. For example: if I have the fraction 3/6, this equals out to 1/2 or 0.5. Another fraction, for example 4/8, when you divide the numerator and the denominator by 4, you also get 1/2 or 0.5. Another way to do this is to get out a calculator, and punch in 3/6. You should get 0.5 as your answer. Then punch in 4/8, and you should still get the answer 0.5 proving that two different fractions can have the same equivalent.

What are two or more fractions that name the same value called?

Fractions that name the same value are called equivalent fractions. Equivalent fractions have different numerators and denominators but represent the same proportion of a whole. For example, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions because they both represent half of a whole.

How are equivalent ratios like equivalent fractions?

Equivalent ratios are like equivalent fractions because they represent the same relationship between quantities in different forms. Just like equivalent fractions are different expressions of the same value, equivalent ratios show the same comparison between two quantities using different numerical values.

Why is it important to learn about equivalent fractions?

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).

If two or more fractions are equal we say they are?

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.

What does it mean when two fractions are equivalent?

It means that two fractions represent exactly the same number - it is just written in a different way. For example, 2/4 is the same as 1/2, meaning it is really the same number.


What are two equivalent fractions to 212?
