How to find equivalent fractions?
Two frations are equivalent when they are both equal when written in lowest terms. The fraction 8/32 is equal to 1/4 when reduced to lowest terms. To find equivalent fractions, you just need to multiply the numerator and denominator of that reduced fraction (1/4) by the same interger number, ie, multiply by 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ...
2/8 is equivalent to 4/16 once 1 x 2 = 2 and 4 x 2 = 8
3/12 is equivalent to 4/16 once 1 x 3 = 3 and 4 x 3 = 12
4/16 is equivalent to 4/16 once 1 x 4 = 4 and 4 x 4 = 16
and so on ...
At a glance, equivalent fractions look different, but if you reduce then to the lowest terms you will get the same value showing that they are equivalent. If a given fraction is not reduced to lowest terms, you can find other equivalent fractions by dividing both numerator and denominator by the same nu
