name two fractions that you know are equivalent to 1/2
1/2 = 2/4 = 3/6 = 4/8 = 5/10 = 6/12 = 7/14
Do you see the pattern?
Yes
2/4
To find two fractions that are equivalent to 1/2, we need to manipulate the numerator and denominator in a way that preserves the value of the fraction. One common approach is to multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number. Let's demonstrate with an example:
1. Multiply both the numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 2:
(1/2) * (2/2)
= 2/4
2. Divide both the numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 2:
(1/2) / (2/2)
= 1/4
Hence, two fractions equivalent to 1/2 are 2/4 and 1/4.
