Exploring Equivalent Fractions and Simplification

The video tutorial explains how to determine equivalent fractions using diagrams. It begins with an introduction to the problem and then demonstrates how to shade diagrams to represent equivalent fractions. The first diagram shows how 4/6 is equivalent to 2/3, while the second diagram illustrates how 2/4 represents 1/2. The tutorial concludes with a call to action, encouraging viewers to subscribe and engage in the comments.

What is the purpose of shading the second shape in each diagram?

• To make the second shape look prettier

• To demonstrate subtraction of fractions

• To represent equivalent fractions

• To show multiplication of fractions
