What are some equal fractions?
Equivalent fractions are the fractions that have different numerators and denominators but are equal to the same value. For example, 2/4 and 3/6 are equivalent fractions, because they both are equal to the ½. A fraction is a part of a whole.
What fractions are equal to 2 3?
Answer: 4/6, 6/9, 8/12, 10/15 are equivalent to 2/3. All those fractions obtained by multiplying both the numerator and denominator of 2/3 by the same number are equivalent to 2/3. All equivalent fractions get reduced to the same fraction in their simplest form.
Which two fractions both represent the same location on a number line?
1 2 = 2 4 = 3 6 = 4 8 = etc. All of these fractions are located at the same point on the number line. Therefore, they represent the same number. From the paper folding exercises we see that increasing both numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same factor gives an equivalent or equal fraction.
What is the top number of a fraction called?
First, a fraction is made up of two integers—one on the top, and one on the bottom. The top one is called the numerator, the bottom one is called the denominator, and these two numbers are separated by a line.
How to find the same number in a fraction?
These equivalent fractions contain different numbers but they mean the same thing: 1/2 = 6/12 = 50/100 Multiply both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same whole number.
Which is the same as half of a fraction?
It means half of something. You can also say that 6/12 is half, and that 50/100 is half. They represent the same part of the whole. These equivalent fractions contain different numbers but they mean the same thing: 1/2 = 6/12 = 50/100 Multiply both the numerator and denominator of a fraction by the same whole number.
Which is the equivalent of the fraction 1 / 2?
For example, think about the fraction 1/2. It means half of something. You can also say that 6/12 is half, and that 50/100 is half. They represent the same part of the whole. These equivalent fractions contain different numbers but they mean the same thing: 1/2 = 6/12 = 50/100.
Why do fractions have the same numerator and denominator?
The answer to this question is that, as the numerator and denominator are not co-prime numbers, therefore they have a common multiple, which on division gives exactly the same value. But, it is clearly seen that the above fractions have different numerators and denominators. Dividing both numerator and denominator by their common factor, we have:
