equivalent fractions have the same value after calculation but look different
you work them out by dividing the denominator and the numerator by the same number (the numbers on the top and bottom of the fraction)or multiplying but this isn't usually used
60/80 = 0.75
if you divide both sides by ten
6/8 =0.75
divide first fraction by 20 or the second fraction by 2
3/4 = 0.75
divide the first by 4
15/20 = 0.75
these are all equivalent fractions
usually you would use the fraction with the lowest numbers eg 3/4 as this cannot be simplified further you cannot divide it and get whole numbers on the bottom and the top
hope that helps
pls. find an equivalent fraction, and explain .ty
60/80

Amelia is correct. One way to reduce 60/80 to lowest terms is to write both numerator and denominator as the products of prime numbers, and cancel out the numbers that appear both above and below the line. For example:
60/80= 2*2*3*5/(2*2*2*2*5)= 3*/(2*2) = 3/4
I was able to cancel our two 2's and a 5 that appeared in both numerator and denominator.
60/80= 2*2*3*5/(2*2*2*2*5)= 3*/(2*2) = 3/4
I was able to cancel our two 2's and a 5 that appeared in both numerator and denominator.
