Name a fraction that is equivalent to 1/2
Equivalent fractions are fractions that have different numbers, but represent the same part of a whole. Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value, even though their numerator and denominator may be different. You can find equivalent fractions by multiplying the numerator and denominator by the same number.

Equivalent fractions are fractions that have the same value but may have different numerators and denominators. To find equivalent fractions, you can use the same method for simplifying fractions: divide the numerator and denominator by the same number. Equivalent fractions can help you compare fractions with different denominators and help you solve problems involving fractions.
