Answer 2

Required Answer :

Equivalent fractions are fractions that show or describe the same amount.

Equivalent Fractions :

• Equivalent Fractions have the same value even though the numerators or denominators are different. Some examples of equivalent fractions are 1/2 and 5/10; 1/4 and 2/8; 6/9 and 12/18; 3/10 and 6/20 etc

• How do we find equivalent fractions?

> To find an equivalent fraction, multiply the numerator and denominator of the fraction by the same non-zero number

> To find an equivalent fraction, divide the numerator and denominator of the fraction with the same non-zero number

> For example, let's take, 2/3 = ?/6

Solution : $\sf\dfrac{2}{5}$ = $\sf\dfrac{2 × 2}{5 × 2}$ = $\sf\dfrac{4}{10}$

> Also, let's take an another example!

12/18 = 6/?

Solution : $\sf\dfrac{12}{18}$ = $\sf\dfrac{12 ÷ 2}{6 ÷ 2}$ = $\sf\dfrac{6}{3}$

These were some examples based on Equivalent Fractions!
