Two fractions equivalent to each: Just divide or multiply both top AND bottom by the same number.<span> 5/6: 10/12 OR 15/18 15/30: 5/10 OR 1/2 45/60: 8/12 OR 4/6
Rewrite each pair or fractions with common denominator: Find the difference between the two bottom numbers, and multiply top and bottom number.
5/8 and 3/4: 4X2=8, 3X2=6. So, 5/8 and 6/8. 2/5 and 1/2: 2/5 and 2.5/5 9/9 and 5/7: 9/9 and ~5.7/9
Rewrite each in simple form: Find greatest common factor and divide.
9/54: 1/6 20/40: 1/2 100/110: 10/11
Are these fractions equivalent? No. 5/1 and 5/5 are, because they are both 5 wholes. 1/5 is not because it is a fifth of a whole.
In what situation can you use multiplication to find equivalent fractions? I'm sorry but I do not understand this question. </span>Source(s):<span>I hope I helped, seeing as I have graduated with a math degree.</span>
