Which pair of fractions are equivalent?

Answer 1

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.

Hope this helped :)

Answer 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

Answer 3

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.

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

It would be nice to have the various pairs in the question

Answer 6

It is fraction which has the same mathematical value.
