equivalent fractions

Fractions that represent the same value or proportion, even though they have different numerators and denominators.

The top number of a fraction that indicates how many parts of the whole are being considered.

The bottom number of a fraction that indicates the total number of equal parts the whole is divided into.

Multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number.

$$\frac{2}{4}$$ , $$\frac{3}{6}$$ , and $$\frac{4}{8}$$ are all equivalent to $$\frac{1}{2}$$ .

$$\frac{5}{5}$$ , $$\frac{10}{10}$$ , and $$\frac{3}{3}$$ are all equal to one whole.

$$\frac{6}{8}$$ is an equivalent fraction to $$\frac{3}{4}$$ .

The missing numerator is 3, making it $$\frac{3}{6}$$ .

They are equivalent fractions because they represent the same value.

Divide both the numerator and denominator by 3 to get $$\frac{2}{3}$$ .
