Examples of Equivalent Fractions for 5th Grade

📚 Quick Study Guide

🔍 An equivalent fraction is a fraction that has the same value as another fraction, even though they have different numerators and denominators. 💡 To find equivalent fractions, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and the denominator by the same non-zero number. 📝 The golden rule: What you do to the top, you must do to the bottom! ➕ Example: $\frac{1}{2}$ is equivalent to $\frac{2}{4}$ because you can multiply both the numerator (1) and the denominator (2) of $\frac{1}{2}$ by 2 to get $\frac{2}{4}$. ➗ Example: $\frac{6}{8}$ is equivalent to $\frac{3}{4}$ because you can divide both the numerator (6) and the denominator (8) of $\frac{6}{8}$ by 2 to get $\frac{3}{4}$.
