Find Equivalent Fractions

Equivalent fractions look different but represent the same amount. Half a pizza cut into 2 slices and half a pizza cut into 8 slices are the same amount — 1/2 = 4/8. You can always find an equivalent fraction by multiplying or dividing both the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number.
