What is an equivalent fraction to 1/2?

An equivalent fraction to 1/2 is 2/4.

How can you find equivalent fractions for 3/4?

To find equivalent fractions for 3/4, you can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number. For example, to find an equivalent fraction, you could multiply both the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 6/8, or by 3 to get 9/12. This results in fractions that have the same overall value as 3/4 but are written differently.

Give an example of two fractions that are equivalent to each other.

An example of two fractions that are equivalent to each other is 4/8 and 1/2, where both fractions represent the same portion of a whole, just written in different forms.

How can you simplify an equivalent fraction to its lowest terms?

To simplify an equivalent fraction to its lowest terms, you need to divide both the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common factor (GCF). This process will reduce the fraction to its simplest form, where the numerator and denominator have no other common factors other than 1. This ensures that the fraction is in its lowest terms and cannot be further simplified.

What is a common method to determine if two fractions are equivalent?

A common method to determine if two fractions are equivalent is to simplify both fractions to their simplest form and then compare them. If the simplified fractions are the same, then the original fractions are equivalent.

Explain how to multiply a fraction by a whole number to find an equivalent fraction.

To multiply a fraction by a whole number to find an equivalent fraction, you simply multiply the numerator of the fraction by the whole number, while keeping the denominator the same. The resulting product becomes the new numerator of the equivalent fraction, while the denominator remains unchanged. So, to multiply a fraction, such as 1/4, by a whole number, like 3, you would multiply 1 (numerator) by 3 to get 3, and keep the denominator as 4, resulting in the equivalent fraction 3/4.

What is the relationship between equivalent fractions and the concept of proportion?

Equivalent fractions are fractions that represent the same value despite having different numerators and denominators. When two fractions are equivalent, they maintain the same proportion of a whole. Similarly, the concept of proportion involves comparing two ratios or fractions that have the same relationship between their parts. By understanding equivalent fractions, one can better grasp the idea of proportionality and how different fractions can relate to each other in terms of representing the same quantity or value.

Can you provide an example of an equivalent fraction that is greater than 1?

An example of an equivalent fraction greater than 1 is 6/3. This fraction is equivalent to 2, as 6 divided by 3 equals 2.

How can you use cross multiplication to find equivalent fractions?

To use cross multiplication to find equivalent fractions, you must multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction and set the two products equal to each other. For example, if you have the fractions 2/3 and x/6, you would have 2 * 6 = 3 * x. Solving this equation gives you x = 4, so the equivalent fraction to 2/3 with 6 as the denominator is 4/6.

Explain how you can use a number line to visually represent equivalent fractions.

To visually represent equivalent fractions using a number line, you can plot the fractions on the line and compare their positions. For example, if you have the fractions 1/2 and 2/4, you would plot both 1/2 and 2/4 on the number line. Since they represent the same portion of the whole, you would see that both fractions fall at the same point on the number line, illustrating that they are equivalent. This visual representation helps in understanding that different fractions can represent the same value.
