Exploring Equivalent Fractions

Help plan servings for a busy food truck. Equivalent fractions name the same amount. To make one, multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same non-zero number. Show your thinking where asked.

Compare the portions

Each bar shows one whole divided into equal parts. Shaded parts are shown in blue.
