5.4 Equivalent Fractions
What are EQUIVALENT fractions?
Equivalent fractions are worth an equal amount of the whole number that they represent. Look at the picture on the right. If I eat 1/3 (one-third) of a pizza, can you see how that is equal to 2/6 (two-sixths)? Even though the numerator and denominator are different, they still describe the same amount of the whole number they are part of. |
