4. Learn to identify, write, and convert between equivalent fractions and mixed numbers.

5. 2-9
Vocabulary
equivalent fractions
relatively prime

6. Different fractions can name the same number.
In some recipes the amounts of ingredients are given as fractions, and sometimes those fractions do not equal the fractions on a measuring cup. Knowing how fractions relate to each other can be very helpful.
Different fractions can name the same number. 3 5 6 10 15 25 = =

7. In the diagram = . These are called
equivalent fractions because they are different expressions for the same nonzero number. 3 5 6 10 15 25 =
To create fractions equivalent to a given fraction, multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same number.

8. Additional Example 1: Finding Equivalent Fractions5 7
Find two fractions equivalent to .
5 · 2 10 14 =
Multiply numerator and
denominator by 2.
7 · 2
5 · 3 15 21
Multiply numerator and
denominator by 3. =
7 · 3

9. Check It Out: Example 1 6 12
Find two fractions equivalent to
6 · 2 12 24 =
Multiply numerator and
denominator by 2.
12 · 2
6 ÷ 2
12 ÷ 2 3 6
Divide numerator and
denominator by 2. =

10. A fraction is in simplest form when the numerat or and denominator are relatively prime. Relatively prime numbers have no common factors other than 1.

11. Additional Example 2: Writing Fractions in Simplest Form18 24
Write the fraction in simplest form.
Find the GCF of 18 and 24.
18 = 2 • 3 • 3
The GCF is 6 = 2 • 3.
24 = 2 • 2 • 2 • 3 18 24
18 ÷ 6
24 ÷ 6 3 4
Divide the numerator and
denominator by 6. = =

12. Check It Out: Example 2 15 45
Write the fraction in simplest form.
Find the GCF of 15 and 45.
15 = 3 • 5
The GCF is 15 = 3 • 5.
45 = 3 • 3 • 5 15 45
15 ÷ 15
45 ÷ 15 1 3
Divide the numerator and
denominator by 15. = =

13. Additional Example 3A: Determining Whether Fractions are Equivalent
Determine whether the fractions in each pair are equivalent. 4 6 28 42
and
Both fractions can be written with a denominator of 3. 4 6
4 ÷ 2
6 ÷ 2 2 3 = = 28 42
28 ÷ 14
42 ÷ 14 2 3 = =
The numerators are equal, so the fractions are
equivalent.

14. Additional Example 3B: Determining Whether Fractions are Equivalent
Determine whether the fractions in each pair are equivalent. 6 10 20 25
and
Both fractions can be written with a denominator of 50. 6 10
6 · 5
10 · 5 30 50 = = 20 25
20 · 2
25 · 2 40 50 = =
The numerators are not equal, so the fractions are
not equivalent.

An improper fraction is a fraction where the numerator is than or equal to the denominator.
Remember!

16. Additional Example 4: Converting Between Improper Fractions and Mixed Numbers13 5
A. Write
as a mixed number.
First divide the numerator by the denominator. 13 5 3 5
Use the quotient and remainder to
write a mixed number.
