What Are Equivalent Fractions?

Equivalent fractions are different fractions that name the same number or representing the same part of a whole. Even though they look different with different numerators and denominators, their values are identical.

Think of it like slicing a pizza. Whether you slice it into 2 pieces and take 1 (1/2), or slice it into 8 pieces and take 4 (4/8), you still get the exact same amount of pizza. As shown in the example above, 1/2, 2/4, 4/8, and 50/100 all equal 0.5. You can create equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing both the top and bottom of a fraction by the same number.
