7th grade / Number / Fractions / Fraction basics / Identify equivalent fractions
There are various ways to identify pairs of fractions that are equivalent:
Simplify both fractions to their lowest terms: To do this, find the greatest common factor (GCF) of the numerator and denominator of each fraction and divide both the numerator and denominator by the GCF. The result will be a simplified fraction that is equivalent to the original fraction.
For example, say you have two fractions, 2/4 and 3/6. The GCF of 2 and 4 is 2. Dividing numerator and denominator by 2 gives us 1/2. The GCF of 3 and 6 is 3. Dividing numerator and denominator by 3 gives us 1/2. Since the simplified fractions are the same, the original fractions (2/4 and 3/6) are equivalent.
Another method to identify equivalent fractions is to cross-multiply. To do this, multiply the numerator of one fraction by the denominator of the other fraction, and vice versa. If the results are the same, then the fractions are equivalent.
For example, if you have two fractions, 2/3 and 4/6, you can cross-multiply to get 2 x 6 = 12 and 4 x 3 = 12. Since the results are the same, the fractions are equivalent.
A third way to identify equivalent fractions is to convert both fractions to decimals and compare the decimals. If the decimals are the same, then the fractions are equivalent.
For example, if you have two fractions, 1/3 and 2/6, you can convert them to decimals by dividing the numerator by the denominator. 1/3 = 0.3333 and 2/6 = 0.3333. Since the decimals are the same, the fractions are equivalent.
By following these steps, you can identify pairs of fractions that are equivalent.
With our Four in a row math game you will be practicing the topic "Identify equivalent fractions" from 7th grade / Number / Fractions / Fractions. The math in this game consists of 16 questions that ask you to identify the pairs of fractions that are equivalent.
The game will reinforce the math you have chosen to learn by getting you to match the question to the correct answer.
