Here are the solutions for the equivalent fractions worksheet.
Section A
Column 1 (Base fraction $\frac{1}{2}$):
* $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{2}{4}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 2)
* $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{5}{10}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 5)
* $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{10}{20}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 10)
* $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{4}{8}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 4)
Column 2 (Base fraction $\frac{1}{3}$):
* $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{3}{9}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 3)
* $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{4}{12}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 4)
* $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{5}{15}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 5)
* $\frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{6}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 2)
Column 3 (Base fraction $\frac{1}{4}$):
* $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{4}{16}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 4)
* $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{2}{8}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 2)
* $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{3}{12}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 3)
* $\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5}{20}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 5)
Column 4 (Base fraction $\frac{1}{5}$):
* $\frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{25}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 5)
* $\frac{1}{5} = \frac{3}{15}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 3)
* $\frac{1}{5} = \frac{4}{20}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 4)
* $\frac{1}{5} = \frac{5}{25}$ (Multiply top and bottom by 5)
