What is the difference between a simplified fraction and an equivalent fraction?

A simplified fraction would be like 1/2. You can't reduce it any more. The only common factor between numerator and denominator is the number one (1). This is one use for finding the Greatest Common Factor between two numbers. Once you find the GCF, just divide the Numerator by GCF, and divide the Denominator by GCF and you have an equivalent fraction which has been reduced to the simplest form.
An equivalent fraction is like 3/4 and 6/8. It's the same amount, therefore equal, which is where the name equivalent comes in.
An equivalent fraction is a different representation of the simplest form. The numerator and the denominator of the equivalent fraction are multiples of the numerator and the denominator of the simplest form.

What is the difference between an unsimplified fraction and a simplified fraction?
There's no mathematical difference between them; they're the same value. They express the same ratio. In a simplified fraction, the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1. In an unsimplified fraction, that GCF is greater than one.
What is the difference between a fraction and an equivalent fraction?
They are both fractions... an equivalent fraction is a fraction that is the same as another fraction. For example: 1/2 and 2/4 they are equivalent. A fraction is just .. a fraction any fraction.. 2/7 7/8 8/9 :)
What is the difference between a mixed number and a fraction?
A mixed number is a number with both a whole number and a fraction.
What is the difference between a fraction and a rational number?
Very little.A fraction is one integer divided by another.A rational number is one that could be written as a fraction.
What is the ratio of 33:36 simplified?
To find the simplified fraction, you would first find a common divider between 33 and 36. The only one would be 3. 33 divided by 3 is 11. 36 divided by 3 is 12. The simplified ratio would then be 11/12.
What is the difference between an unsimplified fraction and a simplified fraction?
There's no mathematical difference between them; they're the same value. They express the same ratio. In a simplified fraction, the GCF of the numerator and the denominator is 1. In an unsimplified fraction, that GCF is greater than one.
How are equivalent fractions related to simplifying fractions?
When a fraction is simplified, it is made into an equivalent fraction with no common divisor between the numerator and denominator.

What is the difference between a mixed number and a symplified fraction?
Mixed number contains a whole number and a fraction, a simplified fraction is eg 2/3 rather than 4/6.
What is the visual difference between simplified and standard memos?
There is a visual difference between a simplified and a standard memo. The simplified has a cleaner look where information is found more quickly.
Which fraction is between 0.5 and 0.55?
It is: 0.525 = 21/40 simplified
What is 3 equivalent to 3 15?
That's not an equation - an equation has an equal sign. To get an equivalent FRACTION, you can 1) Simplify the fraction. Look for common factors between the two numbers, then divide both parts of the fraction by this number. 2) Expand either the original fraction or the simplified fraction, by multiplying both parts by some number - the same number in both cases.
What makes an equivalent fraction equivalent?
The thing that makes an equivalent fraction equivalent is the overall value of the fraction, the ratio between the numerator and the denominator.
What equation is equivalent to 3 over 15?
That's not an equation - an equation has an equal sign. To get an equivalent FRACTION, you can 1) Simplify the fraction. Look for common factors between the two numbers, then divide both parts of the fraction by this number. 2) Expand either the original fraction or the simplified fraction, by multiplying both parts by some number - the same number in both cases.
