Equivalent and Non-Equivalent Fractions

How can you use multiplication to find equivalent fractions?

• By adding the numerator and denominator of a fraction together

• By dividing the numerator and denominator of a fraction by different numbers

• By subtracting the numerator and denominator of a fraction

• By multiplying both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number.

Can fractions with different numerators and denominators be equivalent? Explain.

• Rarely

• Yes

• Sometimes

• No

When finding equivalent fractions, we need to multiply or divide:

• Only the numerator

• Only the denominator

• Both the numerator and denominator

• Neither the numerator or denominator

The fraction tape diagram (area model) shows that:

• 1/2 = 3/6

• 1/2= 6/12

• 1/2= 6/6

• 3/4 = 3/6

Equivalent fractions are...

• Two fractions that are the same amount

• Different amounts from different fractions

• The number of parts taken from a fraction

• The number of equal parts

• 2
• 4
• 1
• 3

Check the two fractions are equivalent \frac{3}{7} \frac{9}{21}

• Equivalent(equal)

• Not equal

The value of a fraction does not change when Numerator and Denominator are both divided by the same non-zero number

• True

• False

equivalent fractions

• different fractions with the same value

• fractions with the same numerator

• fractions with the same denominator
