Sure! Let’s solve this worksheet step by step.
The goal is to
find the missing numerator that makes the two fractions
equivalent. Two fractions are equivalent if they represent the same value — meaning you can multiply or divide both the numerator and denominator of one fraction by the same number to get the other.
We’ll go problem by problem.

1. $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{\boxed{?}}{6}$
- Denominator changed from 3 → 6 → multiplied by
2
- So, numerator must also be multiplied by 2: $1 × 2 = \boxed{2}$

## 🧠 Tip for Students:
To find an equivalent fraction, ask yourself:
> “What did I multiply (or divide) the denominator by? Do the same to the numerator!”
This keeps the value of the fraction the same — just written differently.
Let me know if you’d like a visual model (like fraction bars or circles) to help understand this better!
