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.
The LCD of two fractions is the same as the LCM of their denominators.
12/14, 18/21
4/7, 8/14
In order to add or subtract one fraction from another, they must have a common denominator, or the same denominator. That's because it's impossible to add two fractions that have a different number of parts.
LCD is the Lowest Common Denominator which is the lowest number into which the denominators of all the fractions will each divide exactly. Each of the fractions can then be converted to an equivalent fraction with the new denominator which then allows the fractions to be added and/or subtracted.
Fractions that are equivalent have the same values when simplified.
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.
They are all different ways of saying exactly the same thing.
They are equivalent fractions
Write two fractions that the point on the number line represent
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).
Equivalent fractions
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.
I think what you mean is equivalent fractions. It means two fractions that are equivalent, or the exact same.
Because to add or subtract two fractions you first have to find equivalent fractions for both which have the same denominator.
They are equivalent fractions.
