Question

To determine the equivalent fraction, we multiply the numerator and denominator with ________.

• A. even numbers
• B. the same non-zero number
• C. odd numbers
• D. different numbers

Answer 1

The correct option is B the same non-zero number

We multiply the numerator and denominator with the same non-zero number to obtain the equivalent fraction.
For example, let’s find the equivalent fraction of $\frac{1}{3}$.
To obtain the equivalent fraction of $\frac{1}{3}$, we will multiply the numerator and denominator with the same non-zero number, $2.$

$\frac{1\times 2}{3\times 2}=\frac{2}{6}$
