2/3 = ?/18
3 x 6 = 18, multiply the numerator and denominator by 6
2 x 6 = 12
3 x 6 = 18
2/3 = 12/18

Which of these fractions can be represented by the point on the number line?
a.) 86/100
b.) 90/100
c.) 94/100
d.) 101/100
c.) 94/100
The fraction 9/10 is equivalent to 90/100. The point is to the right of 90/100 but to the left of 1, so it is greater than 90/100 but less than 100/100
200
What fraction does the shaded part represent?
3/10
There are 10 equal parts and 3 are shaded.

Compare 4/10 and 7/10 using <, > or =.
4/10 < 7/10. When you compare fractions with the same denominator, look for the bigger numerator.

3/8 = ?/24
8 x 3 = 24
3 x 3 = 9
8 x 3 = 24
3/8 = 9/24

Jada says that 7/5 is equivalent to 14/10 because the numerator and denominator of 14/10 are each 2 times the numerator and denominator of 7/5.
Jada is correct. You need to explain why!
Jada is correct because if you take 7/5 and multiply the numerator and denominator by the same number (2), 7x2 = 14 and 5x2 = 10. Your equivalent fraction would be 14/10.

What fraction does this diagram represent?
4/6
There are 6 equal pieces and 4 are blue

3/6 = ?/36
6 x 6 = 36
3 x 6 = 18
6 x 6 = 36
3/6 = 18/36

True or False: Is 2/3 equivalent to 4/6? You need to prove your answer!
True because you can multiply the numerator (2) and the denominator (3) by the same number (2). 2x2 = 4 and 3x2 = 6, so your new equivalent fraction would be 4/6. 2/3=4/6
