how do you find equivelent fractions
Equivalent fractions are fractions that may look different, but are equal to each other. Two equivalent fractions may have a different numerator and a different denominator.
a/b=c/d
to find equivelent fractions you cross multiply them
for exmple:
5/15= 2/6
5x6=30
2x15=30
30=30
start with any fraction
multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number will give you an equivalent fraction
e.g. 3/8
3/8*(5/5) = 15/40
3/8*(3/3) = 9/24
3/8, 15/40, 9/24 etc are all equivalent fractions

To find equivalent fractions, you need to multiply or divide both the numerator (the top number) and the denominator (the bottom number) of a fraction by the same non-zero number. Follow these steps to find equivalent fractions:
1. Start with a given fraction. For example, let's say we have the fraction 2/3.
2. Choose a non-zero number to multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by. Let's choose the number 2 to multiply our fraction.
3. Multiply the numerator (2) by the chosen number (2): 2 x 2 = 4.
4. Multiply the denominator (3) by the chosen number (2): 3 x 2 = 6.
5. Now the equivalent fraction is 4/6. Both the numerator and denominator have been multiplied by 2, resulting in an equivalent fraction.
You can check whether two fractions are equivalent by simplifying them. In this example, you can simplify 4/6 by dividing the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2: 4 รท 2 = 2 and 6 รท 2 = 3. The simplified form of 4/6 is 2/3, which confirms that it is equivalent to the original fraction.
Remember, you can also find equivalent fractions by dividing instead of multiplying. Just make sure you use the same number for both the numerator and denominator.
