Equivalent Fractions worksheet for practicing fraction equivalence and comparison.

Let's solve this step-by-step. The worksheet is titled "Equivalent Fractions 5" and has two main parts:

1. Finding equivalent fractions (fill in the blanks)
2. Comparing fractions using >, <, or = symbols

---

🔹 Part 1: Equivalent Fractions

We need to find missing numerators or denominators so that the fractions are equivalent.

We use the rule:
> If $\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}$, then $a \times d = b \times c$
> Or, we can multiply numerator and denominator by the same number.

Let’s go through each one.

✔ Answer: 66

---

#### 17) $\frac{4}{9} = \frac{?}{81}$

9 × 9 = 81 → 4 × 9 = 36
✔ Answer: 36

---

#### 18) $\frac{9}{10} = \frac{54}{?}$

9 × 6 = 54 → 10 × 6 = 60
✔ Answer: 60

---

#### 19) $\frac{4}{13} = \frac{?}{52}$

13 × 4 = 52 → 4 × 4 = 16
✔ Answer: 16

---

#### 20) $\frac{8}{3} = \frac{24}{?}$

8 × 3 = 24 → 3 × 3 = 9
✔ Answer: 9

> ⚠️ Improper fraction

---

#### 21) $\frac{3}{10} = \frac{?}{60}$

10 × 6 = 60 → 3 × 6 = 18
✔ Answer: 18

---

#### 22) $\frac{5}{2} = \frac{?}{12}$

5 × 6 = 30 → 2 × 6 = 12 → So numerator = 30
✔ Answer: 30

> ⚠️ Improper fraction

---

#### 23) $\frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{?}$

Simplify $\frac{9}{12} = \frac{3}{4}$ → So denominator = 4
✔ Answer: 4

---

#### 24) $\frac{?}{?} = \frac{30}{54}$

Wait — it says: $\frac{5}{?} = \frac{30}{54}$

So, simplify $\frac{30}{54} = \frac{5}{9}$ (divide numerator and denominator by 6)

So, $\frac{5}{?} = \frac{5}{9}$ → ? = 9
✔ Answer: 9

🟨 Spotting Improper Fractions

The question asks: "Some of these fractions are improper fractions – can you spot them?"

Improper fractions have numerator > denominator

From the original fractions:

- 9) $\frac{4}{3}$ → yes
- 11) $\frac{6}{5}$ → yes
- 15) $\frac{5}{4}$ → yes
- 20) $\frac{8}{3}$ → yes
- 22) $\frac{5}{2}$ → yes

✔ So the improper fractions are: #9, #11, #15, #20, #22
