You divide top and bottom by the same number, if you find a common factor. For example, if your fraction is 9/12, you check whether top and bottom have any common factor greater than one (in this case, the common factor is 3), and then you divide top and bottom by 3, to get 3/4.

To find two missing numbers in equivalent fractions, you can set up an equation using the property that two fractions are equivalent if their cross products are equal. For instance, if you have the fractions ( \frac{a}{b} ) and ( \frac{c}{d} ), you can use the equation ( a \times d = b \times c ) to find the missing values. By substituting known values into this equation, you can solve for the unknowns. Additionally, you can also use a common multiplier or divisor to scale the fractions up or down to find the missing numbers.
If the denominators are not the same, then you have to use equivalent fractions which do have a common denominator . To do this, you need to find the least common multiple (LCM) of the two denominators. To add fractions with unlike denominators, rename the fractions with a common denominator.

In what situtation can you use only multiplication to find equivalent fraction? Give an example
When the fraction is in simplest terms.
Use the GCF. The LCF is always 1.

Divide the numerator of the rational number by its denominator. The quotient is the decimal equivalent.
