Equivalent fractions are equivalent because they have the same value. The numerators and denominators each would be 'larger' than numerator and denominator of the simplified fraction by a whole number factor (except zero).

Example: 3/4. equivalent fractions would be (3*2)/(4*2) = 6/8, or (3*3)/(4*3) = 9/12, etc.

When you multiply a whole number by a fraction is the product always less than the original whole number?

A number multiplied by 1 is equal to the original number. So: For fractions where the numerator (top) is LESS than the deonominator (bottom), the product will be LESS than the original number, because the fraction has a value of LESS than 1. For fractions where the numerator is MORE than the denominator, the product will be MORE than the original number because the fraction has a value of MORE than 1. For fractions where the numerator and denominator are the same, the product will be the same as the original number because the fraction has a value equal to 1.


Are negative fractions integers?

Technically, the answer is always "No", simply because there's no such thing asan "interger".However, a fraction is equivalent to an integer if its numerator is a multiple ofits denominator.

What are three fractions that are equivalent to 0.60?

1. Write this as 60/100. 2. Simplify the fraction as much as you can. 3. In the result of step (2), multiply top and bottom by the same number, to get an additional fractions. You can repeat (with the result of step (2)), multiplying top and bottom with different numbers (but always the same number for top and bottom), to get additional equivalent fractions.


When is the product of two fractions less than its factors?

If the fractions are both proper fractions ... equivalent to less than 1 ... thenthat's always true ... the product is always less than either factor.

What is the product of two numbers that are reciprocals of one another explain why this is always the case?

A fraction multiplied by its reciprocal is always equal to one. This is because the reciprocal is an inversion of the fraction. The denominator of a fraction is the same number as the numerator of the reciprocal, and vice versa. The product of this is a fraction with the same numbers for the denominator and reciprocal, which is also known as an equivalent fraction. Equivalent fractions are always equal to one.
