Exploring Equivalent Fractions

The video tutorial explains equivalent fractions, which are fractions that represent the same value. It introduces the identity property of multiplication, which states that multiplying by one does not change a number's identity. The tutorial demonstrates how to create equivalent fractions by multiplying both the numerator and denominator by the same number. It also covers methods to find missing numerators and denominators in equivalent fractions and explores the concept of numbers between fractions using equivalent fractions.

What does the identity property of multiplication state?

• Multiplying by zero gives the original number.

• Multiplying a number by itself doubles the number.

• Multiplying two numbers always results in a larger number.

• Multiplying by one keeps the number unchanged.

How do you create an equivalent fraction?

• By subtracting the same number from both the numerator and denominator.

• By multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same number.

• By adding the same number to both the numerator and denominator.

• By dividing the numerator by the denominator.

Which fractions are equivalent to 2/3?

• All of the above

• 10/15 and 6/9

• 22/33 and 14/21

• 4/6 and 8/12

What is an equivalent fraction to 3/8?

• 6/16

• 12/32

• 30/80

• All of the above

How can you find a missing numerator in an equivalent fraction?

• Multiply the denominator by the multiplier.

• Divide the denominator by the multiplier.

• Multiply the known numerator by the multiplier.

• Divide the known numerator by the multiplier.

What is the missing denominator if the original fraction is 4/5 and the equivalent fraction is 20/?

• 25

• 100

• 20

• 40

What method can be used to verify if two fractions are equivalent?

• Adding the numerators and denominators.

• Cross multiplying and comparing the products.

• Subtracting the numerators from the denominators.

• Dividing the numerators by the denominators.

If two fractions are equivalent, what should their cross multiplication result in?

• A product that is an even number.

• Different products.

• A product that is a prime number.

• The same product.

Are there any numbers between 1/3 and 2/3?

• No, there are no numbers between 1/3 and 2/3.

• It's impossible to determine.

• Yes, but only one number exists between them.

• Yes, multiple numbers exist between them.

Using equivalent fractions, how can we find numbers between 1/3 and 2/3?

• By dividing both fractions by the same number.

• By subtracting the same number from both fractions.

• By adding the same number to both fractions.

• By multiplying both fractions by the same number.
