Equivalent Fractions
Equivalent fractions made easy | What are equivalent fractions?
When two or more fractions have the same value but look different, then we call these fractions the equivalent fractions. Look at the image at left; there are two circles with equal areas. Both the circle have the half of the area colored or shaded. But the shaded area for the first circle (at far left) is a fraction which is 1/2 and the colored part for the second circle is a fraction which is 2/4. So, both the fractions 1/2 and 2/4 look different but they represent the equal area, hence we call them the equivalent fractions. Advertisement |
