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.

Multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same integer.

3/5 x 2/2 = 6/10

I think this is where the denominators (numbers on the bottom of the fractions) are made to be the same.

e.g.: 1/3 and 1/5 => 5/15 and 3/15

Why does the equivalent fraction make adding and subtracting fractions easier?

You cannot add or subtract fractions with different denominators. If the denominators are different then you need to work with equivalent fractions.


What are non equivalent fractions?

Oh, dude, non-equivalent fractions are basically fractions that don't represent the same amount, like comparing a slice of pizza to a whole pizza - totally not the same, right? It's like trying to say a mini cupcake is the same as a giant cake - nah, not gonna fly. So yeah, non-equivalent fractions are just fractions that are like apples and oranges, you know?
