What are equivalent fractions to 7 over 8?

Answer 1

Oh, what a happy little question! If we take the fraction 7/8 and want to find equivalent fractions, we can multiply or divide both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) by the same value. For example, 14/16, 21/24, and 28/32 are all equivalent fractions to 7/8. Just remember to keep that same balance between the numerator and the denominator, like a peaceful little dance on your canvas.

Answer 2

Well, honey, equivalent fractions to 7/8 include 14/16, 21/24, and even 35/40. As long as you multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same number, you're golden. So go ahead and play around with those numbers, darling.

Answer 3

Equivalent fractions to 7/8 can be found by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number. For example, 14/16, 21/24, and 28/32 are equivalent fractions to 7/8. These fractions represent the same proportion of a whole as 7/8, but with different numerators and denominators.

Answer 4

To form an equivalent fraction, multiply (or divide) the numerator (top number) and denominator (bottom number) by the same value:

7/8 = (7×2)/(8×2) = 14/16

7/8 = (7×3)/(8×3) = 21/24

7/8 = (7×4)/(8×4) = 28/32

7/8 = (7×5)/(8×5) = 35/40

7/8 = (7×16)/(8×16) = 112/128

and so on.

------------------------------

To check if a fraction is equivalent to another, simplify each by dividing both the numerator and denominator by any common factor of the numerator and the denominator (though using the highest common factor does it in one step) until the only common factor is 1. Then the simplified fractions will be the same (both have the same numerators and same denominators) if the original fractions were equivalent.

In this case, 7/8 is already in simplest form, so any other fractions must simplify to 7/8 to be equivalent.

eg 63/72 = (7×9)/(8×9) = 7/8 = 7/8 so 63/72 is equivalent to 7/8

eg 64/72 = (8×8)/(8×9) = 8/9 ≠ 7/8 so 64/72 is not equivalent to 7/8

Answer 5

There are infinitely many fractions which have the same value and, without a list of examples, it would be impossible to check them all.
