Just by reading the steps I am lost please if someone can help me i am studying for a quizz on Friday but I want to undestand . All I understand is the meaning I can see any expression multiplied by 1 is equivalent to original expression but I am lost with these questions.

Using Multiplicative identity

what is an example to find equivalent fractions?how to put in lowest term using the concept use another example.last use an example how to find missing parts?

No worries! I'll break down each question for you and explain how to approach it step by step.

1. Example to find equivalent fractions:
To find equivalent fractions, you need to multiply both the numerator and the denominator of a fraction by the same non-zero number. This allows you to maintain the ratio and value of the fraction while changing its form. For example, if you have the fraction 2/3, multiplying both the numerator and denominator by 2 will give you an equivalent fraction, such as 4/6 or 6/9. The ratio or value of the fraction remains the same, but the denominator and numerator change.

2. Putting a fraction in its lowest terms:
To put a fraction in its lowest terms, you need to simplify it so that the numerator and denominator have no common factors other than 1. Start by finding the greatest common divisor (GCD) of the numerator and the denominator. Then, divide both the numerator and the denominator by their GCD. For example, if you have the fraction 8/12, the GCD of 8 and 12 is 4. Dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4 will give you the simplified fraction, 2/3.

3. Finding missing parts of a fraction:
To find a missing part of a fraction, you need to use the concept of proportionality. If you have a fraction with a missing numerator or denominator, but you know its value, you can set up a proportion to find the missing part. For example, if you have the fraction 3/5 and you know the value of this fraction is 9/15, but the numerator is missing, you can set up a proportion: 3/5 = x/15. Cross-multiply and solve for x to find the missing numerator.

Remember, understanding these concepts in theory is important, but practicing with examples will help solidify your understanding. I would recommend attempting more examples and practicing these steps to become more familiar with them. Good luck on your quiz!
