Step-by-step solution for: Grade 5 Equivalent Fractions Worksheets | Free Printables
To solve the problem of finding equivalent fractions, we need to ensure that the fractions on both sides of the equation are equal. This involves either simplifying or scaling up the fractions by multiplying or dividing the numerator and denominator by the same number. Let's solve each problem step by step.
---
$$
\frac{\square}{4} = \frac{2}{8}
$$
- Simplify the fraction on the right:
$$
\frac{2}{8} = \frac{2 \div 2}{8 \div 2} = \frac{1}{4}
$$
- Now, we have:
$$
\frac{\square}{4} = \frac{1}{4}
$$
- The numerators must be equal, so:
$$
\square = 1
$$
Answer:
$$
\boxed{1}
$$

$$
- Now, we have:
$$
\frac{1}{\square} = \frac{1}{3}
$$
- The denominators must be equal, so:
$$

$$
\frac{2}{3} = \frac{\square}{9}
$$
- To find the missing numerator, scale up the fraction $\frac{2}{3}$ to have a denominator of 9:
$$
\frac{2}{3} = \frac{2 \times 3}{3 \times 3} = \frac{6}{9}
$$
- Now, we have:
$$
\frac{2}{3} = \frac{6}{9}
$$
- Therefore:
$$
\square = 6
$$
Answer:
$$
\boxed{6}
