What fraction is equivalent to $\frac{1}{2}?$

$\frac{5}{10}$

$\frac{4}{10}$

$\frac{3}{10}$

$\frac{2}{10}$

$\frac{6}{10}$

Explanation

The two lines above are the same length. The top line is split into pieces and the bottom line is split into pieces.

$\frac{1}{2}$ and $\frac{5}{10}$ are equivalent because they occupy the same position on the number line.

Fill in the blank with the missing fraction.

$\frac{4}{5}\times\frac{?}{?}=\frac{20}{25}$

$\frac{5}{5}$

$\frac{6}{6}$

$\frac{2}{2}$

$\frac{3}{3}$

$\frac{7}{7}$

Explanation

In this problem we are making equivalent fractions. In order to make equivalent fractions you have to multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.

$4\times5=20$

$5\times5=25$

What fraction is equivalent to $\frac{1}{3}?$

$\frac{2}{6}$
