Equivalent Fractions and Decimals

An equivalent fraction is a fraction that represents the same value as another fraction, even though the numbers may be different. For example, 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4.

To find equivalent fractions, you can multiply or divide the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number. For example, multiplying 1/3 by 2/2 gives you 2/6.

Fractions and decimals are two ways to represent the same value. Every fraction can be converted to a decimal by dividing the numerator by the denominator.

A proper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is less than the denominator, such as 3/4.

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is greater than or equal to the denominator, such as 5/4.
