Answer:

Explanation:

Equivalent fractions represent the same value, even though they look different. For example, if you have a cake, cut it into two equal pieces, and eat one of them, you will have eaten half the cake.

Numeric Example=
(2)/(2) =(1)/(1)

Equivalent Fractions have the same value, even though they look different.

Example :-


\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed{\tt (1)/(2) = (2)/(4) = (4)/(8) }

¿Why are they the same?

Because when you multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same amount, the fraction does NOT change.

Remember that :-

Remember that :- The multiplication and division that you apply in the numerator to e must repeat in the denominator.

That's why the fractions are really the same.

Watch the process ;


\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \tt \boxed{ \tt (1)/(2) = (2)/(4) = (4)/(8) }

That's multiplying

\: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \boxed{ \tt(18)/(36) = (6)/(12 ) = (1)/(2) }

That's Division

I hope I've helped : )
