You have exactly 30 seconds to do the following:
1) Open you math Keytab to a new page2) Write today’s date on the left with you
name on the right3) Underline today’s title which will be
“Equivalent fractions”.

Equivalent fractionsA fraction can have many different appearances, these are called equivalent fractionsIn the following picture we have ½ of a cake because the whole cake is divided into two equal parts and we have only one of those parts.
But if we cut the cake into smaller equal pieces, we can see that
21 =
42
Or we can cut the original cake into 6 equal pieces,
![Page 4: Sixer Guide to:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f3f550346895dce13db/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Equivalent fractionsA fraction can have many different appearances, these are called equivalent fractionsNow we have 3 pieces out of 6 equal pieces, but the total amount we have is still the same.
Therefore,
21 =
42 =
63
If you don’t like this, we can cut the original cake into 8 equal pieces,
![Page 5: Sixer Guide to:](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062315/56815f3f550346895dce13db/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Equivalent fractionsA fraction can have many different appearances, they are called equivalent fractionsThen we have 4 pieces out of 8 equal pieces, but the total amount we have is still the same.
21 =
42 =
63 =
84
We can generalize this to
21
= nn
21 whenever n is not 0
Therefore,Wow, that’s confusing!

If the top and bottom number are not DIVISIBLE by the same number, we stop.

To find out whether two fraction are equal, we need to reduce them to their lowest terms.
