Equivalent fractions are those that equal the same number.
We can apply two methods to find equivalent fractions:
Amplification: we multiply the numerator and the denominator by the same number.
Simplification: we divide the numerator and the denominator by the same number that divides them exactly.
To find out if two fractions are equivalent, we can transform them into a decimal number by dividing the numerator by the denominator.
The fractions two thirds and six ninths are equivalent because they are equivalent to the same decimal number:
