We can obtain equivalent fractions by multiplying and dividing by the same number :-

a) 14:14×22=28\frac{1}{4}:\frac{1}{4}×\frac{2}{2}=\frac{2}{8}

or 14×33=312\frac{1}{4}×\frac{3}{3}=\frac{3}{12}


b) 12:12×44=48\frac{1}{2}:\frac{1}{2}×\frac{4}{4}=\frac{4}{8}


or48×22=816or\frac{4}{8}×\frac{2}{2}=\frac{8}{16}


c) 68:68×33=1824\frac{6}{8}:\frac{6}{8}×\frac{3}{3}=\frac{18}{24}


or68×22=1216or \frac{6}{8}×\frac{2}{2}=\frac{12}{16}


d) 24:24×88=1632\frac{2}{4}:\frac{2}{4}×\frac{8}{8}=\frac{16}{32}


or 24×22=48\frac{2}{4}×\frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{8}


e) 22:22×33=66\frac{2}{2}:\frac{2}{2}×\frac{3}{3}=\frac{6}{6}


or22×88=1616or\frac{2}{2}×\frac{8}{8}=\frac{16}{16}


f) 28:28×22=416\frac{2}{8}:\frac{2}{8}×\frac{2}{2}=\frac{4}{16}


or28×33=624or \frac{2}{8}×\frac{3}{3}=\frac{6}{24}


g)88\frac{8}{8} : 88×22=1616\frac{8}{8}×\frac{2}{2}=\frac{16}{16}

or88×33=2424or\frac{8}{8}×\frac{3}{3}=\frac{24}{24}


h) 48:48×22=816\frac{4}{8}: \frac{4}{8}×\frac{2}{2}=\frac{8}{16}


or48×33=1224or \frac{4}{8}×\frac{3}{3}=\frac{12}{24}


i) 44:44×22=88\frac{4}{4}: \frac{4}{4}×\frac{2}{2}=\frac{8}{8}


or44×33=1212or\frac{4}{4}×\frac{3}{3}=\frac{12}{12}
