Exploring Equivalent Fractions

This video tutorial explains equivalent fractions, which are different ways to represent the same value. It covers how to create equivalent fractions through multiplication and division, emphasizing the importance of applying the same operation to both the numerator and denominator. The video also demonstrates how to find missing numerators or denominators in equivalent fractions, reinforcing the key rule that whatever is done to the numerator must also be done to the denominator.

What does it mean when fractions are equivalent?

• They are both improper fractions.

• They represent the same value.

• They have the same denominator.

• They have the same numerator.

How can you create an equivalent fraction?

• By dividing both numerator and denominator by different numbers.

• By multiplying both numerator and denominator by the same number.

• By subtracting the same number from both numerator and denominator.

• By adding the same number to both numerator and denominator.

What is the equivalent fraction of 3/8 when both numerator and denominator are multiplied by 2?

• 6/16

• 9/24

• 12/32

• 15/40

What happens if you only multiply the numerator and not the denominator?

• The fraction's value is no longer equivalent.

• The fraction becomes an improper fraction.

• The fraction remains equivalent.

• The fraction's value increases.

If a fraction's numerator is multiplied by 4 to find an equivalent fraction, what must be done to the denominator?

• Multiply it by 2

• Leave it unchanged

• Divide it by 4

• Multiply it by 4

What rule must be followed when creating equivalent fractions by division?

• Choose any number to divide.

• Divide only the denominator.

• Divide only the numerator.

• Divide both numerator and denominator by the same number.

What is the equivalent fraction of 5/20 when divided by 5?

• 5/25

• 1/4

• 10/40

• 1/5

What is the result of dividing both the numerator and denominator of 8/16 by 4?

• 2/4

• 4/8

• 1/2

• 16/32

How do you find a missing numerator if you know the multiplication factor?

• Divide the denominator by the factor.

• Multiply the denominator by the factor.

• Multiply the known numerator by the factor.

• Divide the known numerator by the factor.

What is the missing denominator in the equivalent fraction of 3/4 when the numerator is multiplied by 8?

• 64

• 16

• 24

• 32
