Fractions: Equivalent Fractions

What are equivalent fractions?

• Fractions with different denominators

• Fractions that represent the same value

• Fractions that are not simplified

• Fractions that add up to 1

Give an example of two equivalent fractions.

• 1/2 = 2/4

• 3/5 = 6/10

• 4/7 = 8/14

• 2/3 = 4/6

How can you determine if two fractions are equivalent?

• Multiply the numerators and denominators and compare the results

• Add the numerators and denominators and compare the results

• Simplify both fractions and check if they are equal in their simplest form.

• Subtract the numerators and denominators and compare the results

Explain how to simplify fractions to find equivalent fractions.

• Add the numerator and denominator together

• Divide both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

• Multiply the numerator and denominator by a random number

• Subtract the numerator from the denominator

If 2/3 is an equivalent fraction of 4/6, what is the relationship between the two fractions?

• They are prime fractions.

• They are reciprocal fractions.

• They are equivalent fractions.

• They are not related fractions.

Are 3/4 and 6/8 equivalent fractions? Why or why not?

• Yes

• Yes, because they have the same numerator

• Yes, because they have the same denominator

• No

What is the simplest form of the fraction 10/15?

• 4/7

• 2/3

If 5/8 is an equivalent fraction of 15/24, what is the relationship between the two fractions?

• Reduced fractions

• Unrelated fractions

• Equivalent fractions

• Opposite fractions

How can you use multiplication to find equivalent fractions?

• By adding the numerator and denominator of a fraction together

• By dividing the numerator and denominator of a fraction by different numbers

• By subtracting the numerator and denominator of a fraction

• By multiplying both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number.
