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.

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).
