To find out if two fractions are equivalent, either reduce them both to their simplest forms (which will be the same number if they're equivalent) or convert them to decimals (which will be the same number if they're equivalent). To make an equivalent fraction of a given fraction, multiply the numerator and the denominator of the given fraction by the same counting number.
If doing it without a calculator, then convert each mixed fraction into a top-heavy equivalent fraction and then multiply as for fractions.
two equivalent fractions for 5 over 15 = 1/3, 10/30
Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or a common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction.
Change each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the same denominator. 3/8+5/12= 9/24+10/24=19/24
Multiply Or Divide Both The Numerator And The Denominator By The Same Number.

Ella say's that she can find decimal equivalent for lots. Of fractions be cause she knows that the decimal equivalent for 1/5 is 0.2. Name three fractions for which Ella could find the decimal equivalent. Explain how Ella would use 1\5 to find the decimal for each fraction

subtract? Find a common denominator (LCD is preferred). Convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the LCD. Add numerators, keep LCD as new denominator. Reduce the fraction.

Multiply the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or a common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction.
For this we have to convert it into fraction which is-6/10. So, 12/20, 24/40 and 60/100 are the equivalent fractions.
For the first fraction, divide the give denominator into the LCD, take that result and multiply by the given numerator to create a new numerator for the LCD. Repeat for each fraction.

Multiply both the numerator (top) and the denominator (bottom) of the fraction by any non-zero integer or divide both by any common factor. You will have an equivalent fraction.
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.
