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 fraction is equivalent to 912?
To find a fraction equivalent to 912, we need to divide the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). The GCF of 912 is 12. Therefore, the equivalent fraction would be 76/1, as 912 ÷ 12 = 76. This fraction is simplified to its lowest terms, as there are no common factors other than 1 between 76 and 1.
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 fraction between 0.25 and 0.35?
Oh, dude, you want the fraction between 0.25 and 0.35? Well, technically, the fraction between those two decimal numbers is 3/10. But like, who really cares about fractions when you can just use a calculator, am I right?
