To make an equivalent fraction, there are multiple ways of doing it.

One way to do it, is to multiply both the numerator and the denominator with the same number.

Example.. If we have the fraction 2/3... we can multiply the top and bottom number with 2 to make an equivalent fraction of 4/6. We can also multiply the top and bottom number with 3 to make an equivalent fraction of 6/9.

The second way of making an equivalent fraction is to reduce a fraction that hasn't been reduced yet. What I mean is, if possible, you can divide the denominator (bottom) and the numerator (top) by the same number in order to make an equivalent fraction.

Example... If we have the fraction 12/20.... we can divide the numerator (top) and denominator (bottom) by 2 ... and so 12/2 = 6 and 20/2 = 10 ... so the equivalent fraction is 6/10. We can reduce 6/10 and divide the top and bottom by 2 in order to make 3/5.
