Equivalent fractions name the same amount of a set or region.

To find an equivalent faction, multiply both numerator and denominator by the same number.

Example 1:

1	x	2	=	2
2	x	2	=	4

You can use drawings to find equivalent factions. The first circle is divided into 2 parts and represents 1/2. The second circle is divided into 4 parts and represents 2/4.

Fractions that name the same amount are called equivalent.


1/2	2/4

1/2 =2/4
They are equivalent fractions.

Example 2:

1	x	3	=	3
2	x	3	=	6


1/2	3/6

They are equivalent fractions.
