## anonymous 4 years ago I need help with my math homework. It is over Equivelent Fractions. And I was wondering if you would help me with the problems:

1. anonymous

What are equivalent fractions?

2. anonymous

They are somthing that you use and they are the same fraction. Example. 6/12 and 12/24 is equvelent

3. anonymous

Why are they equivalent?

4. anonymous

They are equal they can go into each other

5. anonymous

Alright :-D

6. anonymous

I am guessing you cant help me. thank you for your time

7. anonymous

That's not really why they're equivalent.... 2 goes into 4.

8. anonymous

MetalPen can you help me with my homework then

9. anonymous

Okay.

10. anonymous

The instructions say write a fraction equivelent to the given number. And the problem is 8. I dont understand that

11. anonymous

Give a fraction equivalent to the number 8? 8 is really 8/1.

12. anonymous

so it would be 8/1?

13. anonymous

Sure.

14. anonymous

You understand why right?

15. anonymous

no

16. anonymous

Lol. Think of it just as 8 divided by 1, not as a fraction. What's 8 divided by 1? 8 right?

17. anonymous

Oh. I get it now. Thank you(: Do you mind helping me with an actual fraction?

18. anonymous

Sure. Oh and, since I think it's clear you are at a lower level, we could stay in contact and I could help you with your math since we will increase our knowledge in math monotonically.

19. anonymous

okayy... the problem is 2 2/3

20. anonymous

Okay. Well turn it into an improper fraction first.

21. anonymous

2=2/1, and 2/1 + 1/3 is what?

22. phi

8= 16/2 = 24/3 and of course lots of other examples

23. anonymous

6+2=8 so 8/3

24. anonymous

Yup.

25. anonymous

right

26. anonymous

Lol. Anymore questions?

27. anonymous

So all you have to do is come up with your own fractions that 'go into' the given number.

28. anonymous

yess, just to make sure I am right

29. anonymous

9 8/11 so 9*11= 99+8=107 so it is 107/11

30. anonymous

right?

31. anonymous

Yup.

32. anonymous

Okay. Thank you(: i gave like 3 more lol

33. anonymous

*i got 3 more

34. anonymous

Okay sure.

35. anonymous

4 26/13

36. anonymous

78/13

37. anonymous

Am I correct? I did it in my head.

38. anonymous

So it might not be accurate. :(

39. anonymous

I got 68/13

40. anonymous

is the fraction $$4 \frac{26}{13}$$ ?

41. anonymous

Let's see. Rounded it's about 40+30.

42. anonymous

or is it $$\frac{6}{13}$$

43. anonymous

So I'll have to do the math out.

44. anonymous

yes, first one ag

45. anonymous

|dw:1325723887340:dw|

46. anonymous

Hehe messy. So uh. 2 more?

47. anonymous

$\frac{26}{13} = 2 \implies 4\frac{26}{13} = 4 + 2 = 6$

48. anonymous

Yea. and i cant add lol

49. anonymous

78/13 is right too

50. anonymous

6 is not a fraction. I don't know what you're talking about.

51. anonymous
