Multiply and Divide Fractions

How do you find equivalent fractions by multiplication?

• Multiply the numerator by a number and the denominator by another number

• Divid the numerator and denominator by the same number

• Multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number

• Multiply the numerator by two and leave the denominator the same

Answer explanation

Even when we reduce a fraction to find it's equivalent, we multiply it by a fraction less than one to decrease the value of the numerator and denominator.
