Understanding Equivalent Fractions

The video tutorial explains the concept of equivalent fractions, which are fractions that represent the same value. It demonstrates how to visualize equivalent fractions using strips and provides methods to create them through multiplication and division. The tutorial includes examples to practice finding equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and the denominator by the same number. The video emphasizes the importance of applying the same operation to both parts of the fraction to maintain equivalence.
