Equivalent Fractions

An equivalent fraction is a fraction that represents the same value as another fraction, even though the numerator and denominator may be different.

To find an equivalent fraction, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction by the same non-zero number.

3/6 is the equivalent fraction of 1/2 when both the numerator and denominator are multiplied by 3.

The missing numerator is 6, so 2/3 = 6/9.

To simplify a fraction, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).

The GCD of 8 and 12 is 4.

To convert a fraction to a decimal, divide the numerator by the denominator.
