What is an equivalent fraction?

Back

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.

Front

How do you find equivalent fractions?

Back

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

Front

What does it mean to simplify a fraction?

Back

Simplifying a fraction means reducing it to its simplest form, where the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. For example, 4/8 simplifies to 1/2.

The numerator is the top number in a fraction that indicates how many parts of the whole are being considered. For example, in 3/5, 3 is the numerator.

What is a mixed number?

Back

A mixed number is a whole number combined with a fraction. For example, 2 1/2 is a mixed number, which means 2 whole parts and 1/2 of another part.

Front
