Question

Choose the best term from the box. 1._______ name the same amount 2.

Answer 1

(1)  Equivalent fractions (2) common denominator

Solution:

1. Equivalent fractions name the same amount.

Equivalent fractions are the same value with different numerator and denominator.

Example:

$\frac{1}{3} =\frac{3}{9}=\frac{9}{27}$

These values are same.

2. A common denominator is a common multiple of two or more denominators.

Example:

$\frac{1}{2}+ \frac{5}{3}=\frac{1\times3}{2\times3}+ \frac{5\times2}{3\times2}=\frac{3}{6}+ \frac{10}{6}$

Here 6 is a common multiple of 2 and 3.

Hence the answer is (1)  Equivalent fractions (2) common denominator.
