How to Find Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that represent the same value or proportion of the whole.

For example, , and are all equivalent because they represent the same part of a whole.

Steps to Find Equivalent Fractions:

Multiply or Divide the Numerator and Denominator by the Same Number:
To find an equivalent fraction, you can either multiply or divide both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) of the fraction by the same non-zero number.

Example 1: Start with the fraction 2/3, if you multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2, you get: 2 x 2/3 x 2 = 4/6. So, 2/3 and 4/6 are equivalent.

Example 2: Starting with 6/9, If you divide both the numerator and denominator by 3, you get: 6 ÷ 3/9 ÷ 3 = 2/3. This shows that 6/9 is equivalent to 2/3.
