Equivalent Fractions Worksheets Free and Printable
Equivalent fractions are fractions that may look different but actually represent the same amount. Imagine you have a pizza. If you cut it into two equal pieces, each piece is 1/2 of the whole pizza. Now, if you cut the same pizza into four equal pieces, each piece is 1/4 of the pizza. If you take two of these 1/4 pieces, you have the same amount of pizza as you did with the 1/2 piece. So, 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent fractions because they both represent the same part of the whole pizza. Another example is if you have a chocolate bar divided into 3 equal pieces. If you eat one piece, you have eaten 1/3 of the chocolate bar. If the same chocolate bar is divided into 6 equal pieces and you eat 2 pieces, you have eaten 2/6 of the bar. Since 1/3 and 2/6 represent the same amount of chocolate, they are equivalent fractions. To find equivalent fractions, you can multiply or divide the numerator (top number) and the denominator (bottom number) by the same number. For instance, if you multiply the numerator and denominator of 1/2 by 2, you get 2/4. If you divide the numerator and denominator of 2/4 by 2, you get 1/2. This shows that 1/2 and 2/4 are equivalent. So, equivalent fractions are different ways of showing the same part of a whole
