Exploring Equivalent Fractions

The video tutorial introduces equivalent fractions and demonstrates how to find them using the butterfly method, a cross-multiplication technique. It begins with a visual approach using area models and then transitions to the butterfly method for a more straightforward comparison. The tutorial includes examples and a real-world application to reinforce understanding.

What method was initially used to compare the fractions 2/3 and 4/5?

• Numerical calculation

• Visual drawing

• Butterfly method

• Cross multiplication without visualization
