How to solve equivalent fraction
To solve equivalent fractions, you can follow these steps:
1. Determine the original fraction that you want to find an equivalent for.
2. To find the equivalent fraction, multiply or divide both the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) by the same non-zero number.
3. Simplify the resulting fraction, if necessary, by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor (GCD).
Here is an example:
Original fraction: 2/4
To find an equivalent fraction, multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same number. Let's choose to divide by 2.
2 ÷ 2 = 1
4 ÷ 2 = 2
The resulting fraction is 1/2, which is an equivalent fraction to 2/4.
Sometimes, the simplification step is required to get the simplest form of the equivalent fraction. In the example above, the fraction 1/2 is already in its simplest form, so there is no further simplification needed.
Remember that the key is to always multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number in order to maintain the equality and find an equivalent fraction.
