Equivalent fractions are fractions that look different but show exactly the same amount. If a pie is cut into 4 pieces, then two pieces represent the same amount of pie that1/2 did. We say that 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4; and drawings can help us visualize and understand fractions more easily. Fractions are determined to be equivalent by multiplying the numerator and denominator of one fraction by the same number. You can make equivalent fractions by multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number. You can simplify fractions by dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number. This is called cancelling.
