Equivalent fractions are when there are two or more fractions that are equal to the same amount. For example if you were to have a cake and slice it in half (two equal slices using the whole cake) and you took 1/2 it would be equal to taking 2/4 or 4/8. These are the easiest equivalent fractions to learn as if you double the denominator, you double the numerator. You can also do this with mixed number fractions. 1 and 1/2 is equivalent to 3/2 because you have 2 pieces in the full one and you have one piece in the other cake, and 2 add 1 = 3 therefore you must have 3/2 but its an improper fraction so you must convert it into a mixed number fraction which is the 1,1/2.

Two fractions are equivalent if they can be simplified to the same value by dividing the numerator and the denominator by the same number. For example, 2/4 and 1/2 are equivalent because both simplify to 1/2 when divided by 2.
You can multiply or divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number. Here is an example for finding the equivalent fraction of 4/7;
4x2= 8
7x2=14
The answer is 8/14! :D
It's simply an alternative way to write the same fraction. For example, an equivalent fraction for 1/2 could be 2/4, 3/6 or 12/24. They all represent the same value (one half) - just not in its simplest form.
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.
Two equivalent fractions for 1/3 are 2/6 and 3/9. These fractions are equivalent because they represent the same proportion of a whole.
fractions equivale nt to 1/4 = 2/8, 3/12, 4/20, ...
Fractions? correct answer is factions not fractions
"There is a pair of trousers" is correct because "pair" is a singular noun and takes a singular verb.
