Understanding Equivalent Fractions

What does it mean for two fractions to be equivalent?

• They represent the same portion of a whole.

• They have the same denominator.

• They have the same numerator.

• They are both improper fractions.

In the length model, how many parts are shaded in the model representing 2/4?

• Two parts

• One part

• Three parts

• Four parts

How can you visually confirm that 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4 using length models?

• By comparing the numerators of both fractions.

• By ensuring both models have the same shaded area.

• By comparing the denominators of both fractions.

• By checking if both models have the same number of parts.

When using area models, what is the first step to check if 1/4 and 3/8 are equivalent?

• Compare the numerators of the fractions.

• Divide one rectangle into four parts and the other into eight parts.

• Add the fractions together.

• Shade the entire rectangle.

Why are 1/4 and 3/8 not equivalent when using area models?

• Because 3/8 has more shaded parts.

• Because 3/8 is an improper fraction.

• Because 1/4 has a larger numerator.

• Because 1/4 is a smaller fraction.

What is the equivalent fraction of 1/4 when the denominator is changed to 8?

• 1/8
