How do you find two equivalent fractions for 4/6 ? (4 as the numerator, 6 as the denominator)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

multiply same number top and bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16/36?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you didn't multiply by same number top and bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wtf?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you can find an infinite number of equivalent fractions jus multiply the top and bottom by any number you want as long as you do the same to the top and bottom

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in other words pick any single number you want and multiply the top by it and the bottom by it so if its 4/6 say we pick for the number 4 then we have 16/24

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but, what does it mean by EQUIVALENT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 4/6 = 16/24 because if you reduce 16/24 you get 4/6 so they are said to be equivilent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so if you muliplied both numbers youd get 20/30?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait, multiplied both by 5..
