should sleep for 3/8 of the day. How much time should we
spend sleeping?
24 divided by 8= 3

There are three rules when finding equivalent fractions. I have told you one... the second has something to do with adding and subtracting, the third has something to do with whole numbers. What are the three rules?
- Multiply or divide both top and bottom by the same amount
- Only multiply or divide, never add or subtract, to get an equivalent fraction.
- Only divide when the top and bottom stay as whole numbers.
